| |
| − | An information handling system includes a DDR5 DIMM and a voltage regulator. The voltage regulator provides a voltage rail to the DDR5 DIMM. In a first mode, the voltage rail is based upon a pulse frequency modulation, and in a second mode, the voltage rail is based upon a forced continuous conduction mode). Selection of one of modes is based upon an input to the voltage regulator. When the information handling system is in a first state, the information handling system provides an input signal to the input to direct the voltage regulator to operate in the first state, and when the information handling system is in a second state associated with a sleep mode of the information handling system, the information handling system provides the first input signal to the first input of the voltage regulator to direct the voltage regulator to operate in the second state.

| − | '''Brief explanation'''
| |
| − | The patent application describes a system for high-speed signal traces in a medium with varying dielectric properties.
| |
| − | * The system includes two ground layers and two dielectric layers.
| |
| − | * The first dielectric layer is adjacent to the first ground layer.
| |
| − | * The second dielectric layer has a different dielectric constant and is thicker than the first dielectric layer.
| |
| − | * A first differential trace pair is located between the first and second dielectric layers.
| |
| − | * The trace spacing of the first differential trace pair is equal to or smaller than the thickness of the first dielectric layer.
| |
| − | * The first differential trace pair transmits signals and generates a magnetic field.
| |
| − | * The trace spacing prevents the magnetic field strength from exceeding a threshold at a second differential trace pair located next to the first differential trace pair.

| |
| − | An inhomogeneous dielectric medium high-speed signal trace system includes a first and second ground layer. A first dielectric layer is located adjacent the first ground layer. A second dielectric layer has a different dielectric constant and a greater thickness than the first dielectric layer, and is located between the first dielectric layer and the second ground layer. A first differential trace pair is located between the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer, and includes a trace spacing that is less than or equal to a thickness of the first dielectric layer. The first different trace pair transmit signals and, in response, produces a magnetic field, and the trace spacing prevents a magnetic field strength of the magnetic field from exceeding a magnetic field strength threshold at a second differential trace pair that is located adjacent the first differential trace pair.
