    Abstract: Examples may include techniques to use chip select signals for a dual in-line memory module (DIMM). In some examples, the chip select signals are used with either a first encoding scheme for clock enable (CKE) functionality or a second encoding scheme for on-die termination (ODT) functionality to enable memory devices on the DIMM to be accessed or controlled according to commands received with the chip select signals.

    Abstract: A transmission line interface circuit includes a voltage regulator to control a voltage swing of the transmission line interface circuit for signal transmission. The transmission line interface circuit includes complementary driver elements, including a p-type driver element to pull up the transmission line in response to a logic high, and an n-type driver element to pull down the transmission line in response to a logic low. The voltage regulator is coupled between one of the driver elements and a respective voltage reference to reduce a voltage swing of the transmission line interface circuit.

    Abstract: An interconnect structure (200) includes a signal wire (210) and an' active shield line (220) adjacent to, but removed from, signal wire (210). Interconnect structure (200) also includes another active shield line (230) adjacent to, but removed from, signal wire (210). A signal driver (205) is connected to signal wire (210). Signal driver (205) drives a pulse on signal wire (210). A shield driver (225) is connected to active shield line (220). Shield driver (220) asserts a signal on active shield line (220) substantially simultaneous with the pulse. Another shield driver (235) is connected to another active shield line (230). Another shield driver (235) asserts a signal on another active shield line (230) substantially simultaneous with the pulse. The effect of the simultaneous signals on signal wire (210) and active shield lines (220, 230) is to effectively cancel the lateral capacitances between these lines.
