    摘要: A multi layer printed circuit board with a 3-load topology is disclosed. First, second, and third integrated circuit (IC) printed wiring board packages having first, second, and third sets of terminals respectively are mounted on opposite sides of the board so that the second set of terminals are directly opposite the third set of terminals. Each package contains an IC die coupled to the respective set of terminals. The IC die in the first package is substantially identical to the one contained in the second package, and different than the one contained in the third package. For improved fanout of the metal lines that interconnect the first package to the second and third packages, each of the first, second, and third sets of terminals in the packages is arranged in substantially a U-shape. Each set of terminals has the same set of signal assignments of a parallel bus implemented by metal lines in the board. The 3-load topology is particularly useful for personal computer motherboard units having twin processors and a bridge chip set, yielding a motherboard having significantly lower number of metal layers, a faster bus and significantly improved noise margin, all with high density IC packages on a wide parallel bus.

    摘要: In an electronic system having logic agents that communicate with each other through one or more signal lines, a method for testing high speed digital signaling on the signal lines is disclosed. The method involves sensing a first crosstalk signal induced by a first digital signal. The first digital signal is driven by a first logic agent into a signal line to communicate with a second agent. The second agent is coupled to receive the first digital signal from the signal line. A logic waveform that represents the digital signal is recorded and/or displayed, based upon the crosstalk signal. The technique may also be used for testing simultaneous bidirectional signaling on the same signal line.
