The present invention provides a circuit board of a communication product and a manufacturing method thereof. The circuit board comprises a main body of a circuit board and an isolation cover. A surface of the main body of the circuit board has a power transistor, an insulating layer, a plurality of first openings disposed at intervals on the insulating layer and around the power transistor, and a plurality of soldering portions exposed from the first openings respectively. The isolation cover comprises a cover body and a plurality of second openings equidistantly opened on a lateral side of the cover body. The isolation cover is disposed on the surface of the main body of the circuit board, and is soldered to the soldering portions through a local spot soldering process.

Circuit board of communication product and manufacturing method thereof

The present invention provides a circuit board having an isolation cover and an assembling method thereof. The circuit board of the present invention comprises a main body and an isolation cover disposed on the circuit board main body. The main body and the isolation cover have a plurality of corresponding first and second positioning portions, and a ground portion is disposed on at least one side of each first positioning portion. The isolation cover is disposed on a first surface of the main body, and each second positioning portion passes through a second surface of the main body and each first positioning portion. An end of each second positioning portion is connected to each ground portion.

Circuit board having isolation cover and assembling method thereof

An assembly device includes a base having a supporting portion upon which an isolation cover and a main body are disposed. A press-fitting mechanism is movably connected to the base, and includes a press-fitting portion facing the supporting portion and disposed corresponding in position to the supporting portion, and further portions for guiding and bending second positioning portions. The further portions are movably disposed on external side faces of the press-fitting portion. The press-fitting mechanism also has first portions for holding the further portions to the external side faces of the press-fitting portion, and has second portions passing through upper ends of the further portions. A drive mechanism is disposed at the base and has a drive portion connected to the press-fitting mechanism, for driving the press-fitting mechanism to move towards the supporting portion via the drive portion, so as to bend and fasten ends of second positioning portions.

Assembly device

The invention provides a method improving flexibility of at least one direct memory access (DMA) channel. The at least one DMA channel is used by a plurality of DMA engines of a first device to direct data transmission between the plurality of DMA engines of the first device and a second device. An explanatory embodiment of the method comprises: allowing any of a plurality of DMA engines to use any of the at least one DMA channels, and enabling some of the plurality of DMA engines to share a target channel if some of the plurality of DMA engines simultaneously compete for the target channel, one of the at least one DMA channel.

Method for improving flexibility of arbitration of direct memory access (DMA) engines requesting access to shared DMA channels

A packet receiving-transmitting method is provided for use on a packet-switching network, such as Ethernet, for the purpose of handling packets more efficiently than the prior art. By this method, each received packet is stored in a packet buffer of a fixed size and associated with just one descriptor. Based on a threshold logical segmentation size determined by the network protocol, each packet buffer is partitioned into a plurality of segments, each having an ending point linked to an Early Receive/Transmit interrupt signal with the ending point of the packet buffer being linked to an OK interrupt signal. In response to each Early Receive/Transmit interrupt signal, the packet data stored are retrieved and forwarded; and in response to the OK interrupt signal, all the remaining packet data in the packet buffer are retrieved and forwarded. After this a write-back operation is performed on the associated descriptor so as to reset the descriptor to unused status. This method can help allow the memory allocation to each received packet to be more efficient. Moreover, it can help reduce the total number of required interrupts during the receiving-transmitting operation for each received packet, and also can help reduce the total number of descriptor write-back operations for each received packet. This method is therefore significantly more advantageous in terms of system performance than the prior art.
