Embodiments of this application relate to the field of filtering technologies, and in particular, to a filtering structure and an electronic device.
As a switching capability and a computing capability of an integrated chip are continuously improved, a current and total power consumption of the chip are significantly increased. A rapid transient jump of a large current needs to be suppressed by a quick discharge of a filter capacitor in a power supply circuit to prevent a voltage drop. A capacity, a layout, equivalent series resistance (ESR) or equivalent series inductance (ESL), and the like of a capacitor in a power supply network have decisive impact on voltage drop and power supply quality in a system. Therefore, a high-current filtering solution becomes core competency of a product.
In a conventional technology, a filtering architecture generally includes a chip, a chip package structure, a circuit board, a voltage regulator module (VRM), and a capacitor and an inductor thereof. A low-frequency capacitor with a large capacity is arranged on the periphery of the chip and in the vicinity of the VRM, and a high-frequency capacitor with a small capacity is arranged on a side that is of the circuit board and that is away from the chip, and is located in a projection region of the chip on the circuit board.
However, in the foregoing solution, a filtering path of the chip is long. As a result, a dynamic response capability of the chip is poor, and overall filtering performance needs to be improved.

In a possible implementation, both the third filtering component and the fourth filtering component are capacitors.
In a possible implementation, a projection area of the first filtering component along the thickness direction of the circuit board is less than a projection area of the fourth filtering component along the thickness direction of the circuit board. Because a filtering component with a smaller size responds faster, it can be ensured that a distance between the first filtering component with a smaller size and the chip is small, and a shorter power supply path can be obtained while a filtering path of the chip is shortened.

In this way, the second power supply contacts on the second conductive layer are all located in the first region, and the second ground contacts on the second conductive layer are all located in the second region.

This improves a total capacity of the capacitor. In addition, if a size, capacity, and quantity of the third filtering component remain unchanged, a layout area on the circuit board can be saved to some extent compared with that in the conventional technology.

The electronic device provided in this embodiment of this application includes at least a filtering structure. In the filtering structure, an intermediate assembly is disposed between a chip and a circuit board, a first filtering assembly is disposed inside the intermediate assembly, and at least a part of a second filtering assembly is disposed on a surface that is of the circuit board and that is away from the intermediate assembly. In a conventional technology, a low-frequency capacitor with a large capacity is disposed on the periphery of a chip and a high-frequency capacitor with a small capacity is disposed on a side that is of a circuit board and that is away from the chip. Compared to the conventional technology, in this embodiment, a distance between the first filtering assembly and the chip can be reduced. This shortens a filtering path of the chip, improves a dynamic response capability of the chip, and therefore improves an overall filtering capability of the electronic device.
Terms used in the provided implementations of this application are merely used to explain specific embodiments of this application, but are not intended to limit this application. The following describes implementations of embodiments of this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
There are thousands of transistors inside a chip. These transistors form an internal gate circuit, combinational logic, a register, a counter, a delay line, a state machine, and another logic function. As integration of the chip becomes higher, a quantity of internal transistors becomes larger. Because a quantity of external pins of the chip is limited, it is unrealistic to provide a separate power supply pin for each transistor. Therefore, the external power supply pin of the chip provides a common power supply node for the internal transistors. However, a state transition of the internal transistor inevitably causes transfer of power supply noise inside the chip. In addition to affecting an operating status of the chip, the power supply noise also has impact in other aspects. For example, power supply noise affects jitter features of a crystal oscillator, a phase-locked loop (PLL), and a delay phase-locked loop (DLL), and conversion precision of an AD conversion circuit (which converts an analog signal into a digital signal). Most chips present a normal voltage fluctuation range, usually ±3% to ±5%, which is noise margin of a power supply system. For a power supply scenario with a low voltage and a high current, an absolute value of the noise margin is reduced, which poses a great challenge to design of an entire power supply system.
Currently, a power distribution network (PDN) includes all interconnections from a voltage regulator module (VRM) to a pad of the chip, and then to an on-chip metal layer in a die that distributes a local voltage and a return current. A purpose of designing PDN interconnection is to ensure that impedance is lower than a target impedance value in a range from a direct current to a high frequency, so as to keep a chip voltage stable, minimize a ground spring, and minimize electromagnetic interference. For an entire PDN system, main decisive factors of the impedance are different at different frequencies.
Impedance of a low frequency kHz is determined by a large-capacity and large-size energy storage capacitor. The capacitor is typically an aluminum capacitor or on-chip multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) packaged with 0805 size or above. The capacitor is mainly used to filter low-frequency noise and store energy. The capacitor is generally placed on a side of a printed circuit board (PCB) and occupies 70% to 80% of a filtering area. Impedance of MHz is determined by a decoupled capacitor. This type of capacitor includes an MLCC capacitor packaged with 0402 size or below. The capacitor is placed in a ball array package (BGA) region on the back of the PCB under a projection plane, of a power supply, on a die. Capacitance of the capacitor is generally small (for example, less than 4.7 μF) and is used to filter high-frequency noise for the chip. Therefore, in a conventional filtering solution in a current application scenario, components in the entire power supply system occupy an increasingly large area of the entire circuit board, a filtering path is long, and serious loss occurs especially for a high current, and efficiency is low.
As a switching capability and a computing capability of an integrated chip are continuously improved, a current and total power consumption of the chip are significantly increased. A stable current of a power supply is 1000 A, and a transient jump is 2000 A/μs. A rapid transient jump of a large current needs to be suppressed by a quick discharge of a filter capacitor in a power supply circuit to prevent a voltage drop. A capacity, a layout, ESR or ESL, and the like of a capacitor in a power supply network have decisive impact on voltage drop and power supply quality in a system. Therefore, a high-current filtering solution becomes core competency of a product.
A filtering architecture in a conventional technology generally uses a horizontal filtering technology. A horizontal filtering architecture generally includes a chip, a chip package structure, a circuit board, a voltage regulator module (VRM), and a capacitor and an inductor thereof. A low-frequency capacitor with a large capacity is arranged on the periphery of the chip and in the vicinity of the VRM, and a high-frequency capacitor with a small capacity is arranged on a side that is of the circuit board and that is away from the chip, and is located in a projection region of a die on the circuit board.
However, in the foregoing solution, a filtering path of the chip is long, resulting in a large filtering loss and poor overall filtering performance. In addition, capacitors of the chip occupy a large layout area on the periphery of the chip, which results in limited layout space. As a result, a quantity of capacitors placed on the back of the circuit board is limited, which further affects filtering performance.
Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a filtering structure. In the filtering structure, an intermediate assembly is disposed between a chip and a circuit board, a first filtering assembly is disposed inside the intermediate assembly, and at least a part of a second filtering assembly is disposed on a surface that is of the circuit board and that is away from the intermediate assembly. This shortens a filtering path of the chip, reduces direct current impedance on the filtering path. Therefore, a filtering loss is reduced, and an overall filtering capability is improved.

In this embodiment of this application, the first filtering component 3011 may be a capacitor. Capacitance is a quantity of charges stored under a given potential difference. Generally, charges move under a force in an electric field. When there is a medium between conductors, the charges are hindered from moving and accumulated on the conductors. As a result, the charges are accumulated and stored. A quantity of stored charges is referred to as capacitance.

Because a filtering component with a smaller size responds faster, it can be ensured that a distance between the first filtering component 3011 with a smaller size and the chip 10 is small, and a shorter power supply path can be obtained while a filtering path of the chip 10 is shortened.

In this embodiment of this application, other technical features are the same as those in Embodiment 1, and can achieve same or corresponding technical effects. Details are not described herein again.
It should be noted that Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 may be separately used, or may be combined for use or used with reference to each other. This is not limited in this application.
Different from Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, with reference to
In this embodiment of this application, the first filtering component 3011 is located on a side that is of the intermediate assembly 40 and that is close to the chip 10, and the second filtering component 3012 is located on a side that is of the intermediate assembly 40 and that is close to the circuit board 20. The first filtering component 3011 is disposed on the side that is of the intermediate assembly 40 and that is close to the chip 10, and the second filtering component 3012 is disposed on the side that is of the intermediate assembly 40 and that is close to the circuit board 20. This can ensure that the first filtering component 3011 is close to the chip 10, so that a distance between the first filtering component 3011 and the chip 10 is small, and it is ensured that a filtering path of the chip 10 can be shortened.
In this embodiment of this application, the first filtering component 3011 may be a capacitor, and the second filtering component 3012 may be an inductor or a bead. An inductor, also referred to as an inductor coil, is an electromagnetic induction component formed by winding an insulation wire (such as an enameled wire or a cotton-covered wire). An inductor is a group of coaxial turns that are connected in series and made by using an enameled wire, a cotton-covered wire, or a plastic wire on an insulation frame or a magnetic core or an iron core. The inductor is mainly used to isolate and filter an alternating current signal, or form a resonant circuit with a capacitor or a resistor.
A bead is a component used to suppress high-frequency noise and peak interference on a signal line and a power wire, and further has a capability of absorbing an electrostatic pulse. The bead can be used to absorb an ultra-high-frequency signal. Beads need to be added to power input parts of some radio frequency (RF) circuits, PLLs, oscillation circuits, and circuits including ultra-high-frequency memory.
It should be noted that, the inductor is an energy storage component, and is used in a resonant circuit, a low- and medium-frequency filter circuit, or the like. An application frequency range of the inductor rarely exceeds 50 MHz. The bead has high resistivity and magnetic permeability, which is equivalent to serial connection of resistor and inductor, except that values of resistance and inductance vary with the frequency.
In this embodiment of this application, other technical features are the same as those in Embodiment 1 or those in Embodiment 2, and can achieve same or corresponding technical effects. Details are not described herein again.
It should be noted that Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2, and Embodiment 3 may be separately used, or may be combined for use or used with reference to each other. This is not limited in this application.
Based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2, and Embodiment 3, an embodiment of this application provides an electronic device. The electronic device may include a subrack (not shown) and the filtering structure 100 in any one of the foregoing embodiments. The filtering structure 100 is disposed in the subrack.
The electronic device provided in this embodiment of this application may include a filtering structure 100. In the filtering structure 100, an intermediate assembly 40 is disposed between a chip 10 and a circuit board 20, a first filtering assembly 301 is disposed inside the intermediate assembly 40, and at least a part of a second filtering assembly 302 is disposed on a surface that is of the circuit board 20 and that is away from the intermediate assembly 40. In a conventional technology, a low-frequency capacitor with a large capacity is disposed on the periphery of a chip and a high-frequency capacitor with a small capacity is disposed on a side that is of a circuit board and that is away from the chip. Compared to the conventional technology, in this embodiment, a distance between the first filtering assembly and the chip can be reduced. This shortens a filtering path of the chip, improves a dynamic response capability of the chip 10, and therefore improves an overall filtering capability of the electronic device.
In this embodiment of this application, other technical features are the same as those in Embodiment 1 or those in Embodiment 2, and can achieve same or corresponding technical effects. Details are not described herein again.
