摘要:
Capacitively coupled vertical transitions may be configured with a desired amount of mutual capacitance to at least partially cancel crosstalk for an overall channel crosstalk (e.g., FEXT) reduction. In embodiments, capacitive coupling of adjacent vertical transitions is achieved with overlapping metal surfaces within the vertical transitions. In embodiments, one or more of the overlapping metal surfaces are vias, via pads, or metal stub features extending off a vertical transition. In embodiments, signal paths with overlapped vertical transitions are utilized to achieve crosstalk reduction of more than one victim-aggressor pair and/or to achieve crosstalk reduction of more than two aggressors. In embodiments, capacitively coupled vertical transitions are implemented in a package substrate, an interposer, or a printed circuit board.
摘要:
Transmission lines with a first dielectric material separating signal traces and a second dielectric material separating the signal traces from a ground plane. In embodiments, mutual capacitance is tuned relative to self-capacitance to reverse polarity of far end crosstalk between a victim and aggressor channel relative to that induced by other interconnect portions along the length of the channels, such as inductively coupled portions. In embodiments, a transmission line for a single-ended channel includes a material of a higher dielectric constant within the same routing plane as a microstrip or stripline conductor, and a material of a lower dielectric constant between the conductor and the ground plane(s). In embodiments, a transmission line for a differential pair includes a material of a lower dielectric constant within the same routing plane as a microstrip or stripline conductors, and a material of a higher dielectric constant between the conductors and the ground plane(s).
