Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A signal transmission device includes a transmission line. The transmission line is configured to receive a signal transmitted from a transmission device, and output the signal to a receiving device. The transmission line includes a signal suppression device. The signal suppression device is coupled to the receiving device, and is configured to suppress a reflection signal reflected from the receiving device. The signal suppression device includes a pull-up element and a compensation element. The pull-up element is configured to decrease an equivalent impedance from the signal suppression device to the receiving device. The compensation element is configured to compensate for the equivalent impedance from the signal suppression device to the receiving device. A first terminal of the pull-up element is coupled to a first terminal of the compensation element, and a second terminal of the compensation element is coupled to the receiving device.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A signal transmission device comprising: a transmission line configured to receive a signal transmitted from a transmission device, and output the signal to a receiving device; wherein the transmission line comprises a signal suppression device, the signal suppression device is coupled to the receiving device, and is configured to suppress a reflection signal reflected from the receiving device, wherein the signal depression device comprises: a pull-up element configured to decrease an equivalent impedance from the signal suppression device to the receiving device; and a compensation element configured to compensate for the equivalent impedance from the signal suppression device to the receiving device; wherein a first terminal of the pull-up element is coupled to a first terminal of the compensation element, and a second terminal of the compensation element is coupled to the receiving device. 2. The signal transmission device of claim 1 , wherein the transmission line further comprises a sub-transmission line, a first terminal of the sub-transmission line is coupled to the transmission device, and a second terminal of the sub-transmission line is coupled to a first terminal of the compensation element, wherein the pull-up element comprises: a first via coupled to the second terminal of the sub-transmission line and the first terminal of the compensation element; and a capacitor element coupled to the second terminal of the sub-transmission line and the first terminal of the compensation element through the first via. 3. The signal transmission device of claim 2 , wherein the transmission line is disposed on a printed circuit board, wherein the sub-transmission line and the compensation element are disposed on a first layer of the printed circuit board, the capacitor element is disposed on a second layer of the printed circuit board different from the first layer, and the first via is formed on the first layer, on the second layer, and between the first layer and the second layer. 4. The signal transmission device of claim 2 , wherein the transmission line further comprises: a second via coupled between the second terminal of the sub-transmission line and the receiving device. 5. The signal transmission device of claim 2 , wherein the capacitor element is a parallel plate capacitor, wherein the capacitor element has an impedance value of about 20 to 30 ohms. 6. The signal transmission device of claim 2 , wherein the capacitor element has a length of about 6 to 10 mms. 7. The signal transmission device of claim 1 , wherein the compensation element has an impedance value of about 70 ohms. 8. The signal transmission device of claim 1 , wherein the compensation element has a length of about 7 to 13 mms. 9. The signal transmission device of claim 1 , wherein the signal suppression device is further configured to pull up the signal transmitted to the receiving device. 10. The signal transmission device of claim 1 , wherein the compensation element is configured to increase the equivalent impedance from the signal suppression device to the receiving device.
