    Abstract: Aspects relate to techniques for controlling signal voltage levels across a wired data link for data communication between apparatuses. A first device can advertise multiple supported signal voltage levels to a peer device connected by the wired data link. The devices can implement the same signal voltage level(s) or different signal voltage levels. The peer devices can compare and select a compatible signal voltage level for data communication. The first device can provide a signal voltage indication signal that is configurable to a plurality of voltage levels corresponding to a plurality of signal voltages. At least one of the plurality of voltage levels can indicate that the first device can operate the data link at a plurality of signal voltages. In some examples, the wired data link can be a peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) link.

    Abstract: A hybrid circuit board device includes a hybrid circuit board with a second, child circuit board disposed into a recessed circuit board portion of a first, parent circuit board to combine functionality of the child circuit board and the parent circuit board without exceeding a maximum circuit board height. The parent circuit board includes a first circuit board portion having a first thickness in a thickness direction. First interconnects on the first circuit board portion can couple to a first IC component. The child circuit board includes second interconnects to couple a second IC component. The child circuit board is in the recessed circuit board portion and is coupled to the parent circuit board by at least one board interconnect. The recessed circuit board portion of the parent circuit board has a second thickness that is thinner, in the thickness direction, than the first thickness.
