Robust on-chip signaling by staggered and twisted bundle
Existing shield insertion for multiple signal nets can lead to a nonuniformly distributed, capacitive-coupling length and inductive return paths, introducing large delays and delay variation by crosstalk. This article discusses a twisted,...

Summary: | Existing shield insertion for multiple signal nets can lead to a nonuniformly distributed,
capacitive-coupling length and inductive return paths, introducing
large delays and delay variation by crosstalk. This article discusses a twisted,
staggered interconnect structure that reduces both inductive and capacitive
crosstalk. The proposed design reduces delay by 25% and reduces delay variation
by 25 compared to designs employing coplanar shields. |
