    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed, such as those involving an inter-chip interface configured to receive and process electronic data. One such interface includes a receiver circuit that includes a clock tree configured to receive a clock signal at a clock tree input. The clock tree distributes a plurality of clock signals delayed from the clock signal such that one or more of the clock signals have a delay different from the delays of the other clock signals. The receiver circuit further includes a plurality of data input latches configured to receive a plurality of data elements over two or more different points in time. This configuration at least partially reduces crosstalk and simultaneous switching output noise.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for lowering the capacitance of an interconnect, are disclosed. An example apparatus may include an interconnect formed in at least one integrated circuit and configured to pass a signal through at least a portion of the at least one integrated circuit. The apparatus may include a transmitter to operate at a first voltage and a second voltage, and to output to an end node of the interconnect a reduced swing signal ranging from the first voltage to a third voltage. The third voltage may be between the first and second voltages, and the reduced swing signal may operate to reduce a capacitance of the interconnect when compared to operating the transmitter at the second voltage. Additional apparatus and methods are disclosed.

    Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for a multi-coil induction apparatus. The multi-coil induction apparatus has a primary coil structure with a primary first coil portion and a primary second coil portion where both are on a common planar surface; and a secondary coil structure having a secondary first coil portion and a secondary second coil, where the secondary first coil portion and the secondary second coil portion are coplanar with the primary first coil portion and the primary second coil. The primary first coil portion and the secondary first coil portion concentrically turn on the common planar surface to form a coupled induction section while the primary second coil portion and the secondary second coil portion are adjacent the coupled induction section on the common planar surface.

    Abstract: In various embodiments, a reference voltage (Vref) generator for a single-ended receiver in a communication system is disclosed. The Vref generator in one example comprises a cascoded current source for providing a current, I, to a resistor, Rb, to produce the Vref voltage (I*Rb). Because the current source isolates Vref from a first of two power supplies, Vref will vary only with the second power supply coupled to Rb. As such, the Vref generator is useful in systems employing signaling referenced to that second supply but having decoupled first supplies. For example, in a communication system in which the second supply (e.g., Vssq) is common to both devices, but the first supply (Vddq) is not, the disclosed Vref generator produces a value for Vref that tracks Vssq but not the first supply.
