Abstract

To reduce emission of an unintentional electromagnetic wave even if a frequency of a clock signal being output is high, a printed circuit board ( 10 ) includes: a substrate ( 101 ); signal output circuits ( 102 and 103 ) formed on the substrate ( 101 ), for outputting a clock signal; power supply wirings ( 109 and 110 ) for connecting the signal output circuits ( 102 and 103 ) and a power source; and trap filters ( 107 and 108 ) provided to the power supply wirings ( 109 and 110 ), for attenuating a frequency component corresponding to a frequency of the clock signal.

Claims (36)

1. A printed circuit board, comprising:

a substrate;

a signal output circuit formed on the substrate, for outputting a clock signal;

a shield for covering the signal output circuit;

a power supply wiring for connecting the signal output circuit and a power source; and

a trap filter provided to the power supply wiring, for attenuating a frequency component corresponding to a frequency of the clock signal;

wherein the trap filter is provided inside the shield; and

wherein the trap filter comprises a resonance circuit including:

one portion of the power supply wiring;

an inner-layer wiring of the substrate located below the one portion of the power supply wiring;

an inner-layer ground wiring of the substrate located below the inner-layer wiring; and

a via hole for connecting the inner-layer wiring and the inner-layer ground wiring.

2. The printed circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the trap filters are provided to the power supply wiring.

3. The printed circuit board according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of the trap filters have a distance between centers of respective via holes thereof set to equal to or less than ¼a wavelength of the clock signal.

4. The printed circuit board according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of the trap filters have a distance between centers of respective via holes thereof set to equal to or less than 3 mm.

5. The printed circuit board according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of the trap filters have mutually different frequency components to be attenuated.

6. The printed circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein:

the signal output circuit comprises:

an oscillator circuit for oscillating a clock signal; and

an amplifier circuit for amplifying the clock signal oscillated by the oscillator circuit; and

the trap filter is provided to the power supply wiring for each of the oscillator circuit and the amplifier circuit.

7. The printed circuit board according to claim 1 , further comprising a capacitor provided to the power supply wiring.

8. An optical transmission device, comprising

the printed circuit board according to claim 1 .

9. A printed circuit board, comprising:

a substrate;

a signal output circuit formed on the substrate, for outputting a clock signal;

a shield for covering the signal output circuit;

a power supply wiring for connecting the signal output circuit and a power source; and

a trap filter provided to the power supply wiring, for attenuating a frequency component corresponding to a frequency of the clock signal;

wherein the trap filter is provided inside the shield; and

wherein the trap filter comprises a resonance circuit including:

one portion of the power supply wiring;

an inner-layer wiring of the substrate located below the one portion of the power supply wiring;

an inner-layer ground wiring of the substrate located below the inner-layer wiring; and

a via hole for connecting the one portion of the power supply wiring and the inner-layer wiring.
