Latest Patents
Fitzke holds a patent for a methodology that enables the direct connection of high-speed signals on PCB chips. This invention aims to eliminate signal loss and sources of signal attenuation by utilizing a connection strategy that allows high-speed signals to be directly communicated from integrated circuits on a printed circuit board to other locations within a system. Specifically, his signal escape strategy connects a high-speed cable to a point on the circuit board that is very close to the integrated circuit itself. The back-side connection methodology ensures that electrical signals pass directly from the integrated circuit through a via to a connection point on the backside of the circuit board. To facilitate this connection, Fitzke employs a specially designed interposer and related paddle cards, allowing for easy attachment of the high-speed communication cable. He has 1 patent to his name.
