Abstract:
A printed circuit board (PCB) incorporates at least one damping layer or section. The at least one damping layer is incorporated in the PCB to absorb vibrations or oscillations that may be conveyed to the PCB. Such vibrations or oscillations may be generated by one or more electrical components coupled to the PCB. The damping layer is disposed to prevent the PCB from audibly vibrating when the electrical components associated with the PCB are caused to vibrate or pulsate under a voltage load.

Claim (Index 9):
A printed circuit board (PCB) apparatus, comprising:\n a plurality of PCB layers; a first electrical component interface and a second electrical component interface disposed on a surface of a layer of the plurality of PCB layers; an electrical component having a first terminal and a second terminal, the first terminal coupled to the first electrical component interface and the second terminal coupled to the second electrical component interface; and a vibration damping layer disposed between the plurality of PCB layers and at least partially below the electrical component, the vibration damping layer having a damping layer portion that overlaps a portion of the first electrical component interface and a portion of the second electrical component interface, the vibration damping layer to absorb vibrations in one or more of the plurality PCB layers, the vibrations caused by the electrical component when a voltage is applied thereto.
