SIGNAL TRACE CONFIGURATION TO REDUCE CROSS TALK

Abstract:

Examples described herein relate to an apparatus comprising: a trace comprising a portion routed at least 180 degrees around a perimeter of a pad, wherein the portion is coupled to the pad. In some examples, wherein a cross-sectional shape of the portion routed at least 180 degrees around a perimeter of the pad is one or a combination of: circular, elliptical, square, rectangle, or triangular. In some examples, wherein the portion routed at least 180 degrees around a perimeter of the pad is to increase package inductance and reduce a magnitude of far end cross talk (FEXT). In some examples, wherein the portion routed at least 180 degrees around a perimeter of the pad comprises one or more of: copper, bronze, or an alloy.
