Abstract

As multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) act like piezo-actuators, printed circuit board (PCB) such as solid-state drive (SSD) vibrates and radiates acoustic noise when input AC electric field’s frequency coincides with the resonance frequency of the PCB. To minimize PCB vibration, in this study, the effect of mounting condition of MLCC was analyzed. Finite element (FE) models of PCB and MLCC was constructed to simulate various mounting condition. Each FE model was verified with experiment in previous studies. First, the influence of solder height was analyzed. The vibration amplitude at the center point of PCB was increased as the solder height increased. Second, the influence of mounting direction and position of MLCC was analyzed. As the vibration level varies considerably with frequency, especially for resonant frequencies, three mode shapes were chosen as the reference mode shapes considering the wave propagation direction. Parametric study was performed by changing the mounting direction by 0 and 90 degree and mounting position within a 3 X 3 grid for each reference mode. Low vibration was observed when MLCCs were mounted at nodal point with orthogonal direction to wave propagation direction.
