Scalable routing topologies that enable increased loads on single-ended or differential channels

A system comprising:

• a driver;
• multiple loads configured to communicate with the driver;
• a primary signal line configured to transport one or more electrical signals between the driver and the multiple loads;
• multiple branch signal lines each configured to transport at least one of the one or more electrical signals and each coupled to one or more of the multiple loads;
• and
• a splitter coupling the primary signal line and the branch signal lines;
• wherein the primary signal line has a first characteristic impedance;
• and
• wherein the branch signal lines collectively have a second characteristic impedance that matches or substantially matches the first characteristic impedance.

A method comprising:

• transporting one or more electrical signals over a primary signal line and multiple branch signal lines, each of the branch signal lines coupled to one or more loads;
• and
• passing the one or more electrical signals through a splitter coupling the primary signal line and the branch signal lines;
• wherein the primary signal line has a first characteristic impedance;
• and
• wherein the branch signal lines collectively have a second characteristic impedance that matches or substantially matches the first characteristic impedance.
