Sanmina-SCI Ups High-Speed Signal Integrity
Published: 21 February 2007
MTS stands for match terminated stub, which uses resistors embedded in the internal PCB layers to eliminate parasitic reflections that can interfere with data signals. The approach is said to be less expensive and complex than other effective methods, such as backdrilling, particularly as the number of high-speed signals increases.
The company reported the patent-pending MTS-Via will work in tandem with Opti-Via, another new technology. Opti-Via is designed to improve signal integrity by optimizing internal layer features.
