    摘要: A semiconductor chip package with reduced cross-talk between adjacent signals in a layer of a carrier is disclosed. A first pair of conductors for carrying a first signal is provided in a layer of the carrier. A second pair of conductors for carrying a second signal is provided adjacent to the first pair of conductors in the layer, where the first and second pairs of conductors are configured such that cross-talk between the first and second pairs of conductors is substantially minimized, without increasing the size of the package. The height of the first pair of conductors is shorter than the second pair of conductors. Alternatively, the first and second pairs of conductors are configured so that they evenly affect each other. The chip package thus reduces the cross-talk without compromising the density of the interconnections in the package or resulting in an increase in the size of the package.

    摘要: An I/O interface for an integrated circuit (IC) is described that has a reduced number of I/O pins dedicated to providing control signals to or status information from the IC. In one embodiment, the IC comprises a plurality of input pins connected to logic for receiving and processing input data. The input pins have an input bandwidth greater than the logic's processing rate. If data and control signals are multiplexed onto the same input pin, the excess input pin bandwidth may used to transfer control signals into a plurality of latches within the IC. The I/O interface outputs a select signal that designates when an external device should drive the input pins with either data or control signals. In a specific embodiment, the logic comprises a parallel to serial converter and the control signal select conversion speed or encoding options. In another embodiment, the IC comprises a plurality of output pins connected to the output of a selector. Status latches and logic for outputting processed data drive the selector's inputs. The IC outputs a select signal that allows an external device to determine when the output pins are carrying processed data versus status information and thus demultiplex the signals. In a specific embodiment, the logic is a serial to parallel converter. Finally, both the input and output pin embodiments may used together in a single IC.
