HIGH SPEED DIFFERENTIAL PINOUT ARRANGEMENT INCLUDING A POWER PIN

Abstract:

Microelectronic assemblies, as well as related structures, devices, and methods, are disclosed herein. For example, in some embodiments, a microelectronic assembly may include a microelectronic device having a hexagonal node configuration, wherein the hexagonal node configuration may include a differential signal node pair; a power node; and a plurality of ground nodes; and wherein the differential signal node pair, the power node, and the plurality of ground nodes are arranged in a hexagonal parallelogon pattern, wherein the differential signal node pair includes a first differential signal node adjacent to a second differential signal node, and wherein the power node is adjacent and symmetric to the differential signal node pair; and a microelectronic substrate electrically coupled to the microelectronic device.
