Noise Reduction Among Conductors

Apparatus for noise reduction among conductors, the apparatus comprising:

• conductors disposed adjacent to one another, the conductors characterized as two or more aggressor conductors and one or more victim conductors, at least two of the aggressor conductors driven with at least two signals that induce unwanted crosstalk upon at least one of the victim conductors, with a programmable delay device disposed in a signal path of each of the at least two signals that induce unwanted crosstalk, the apparatus further comprising delay programming logic and drive electronics, the apparatus capable of:
• programming by the delay programming logic a delay period into each programmable delay device;
• receiving, simultaneously at the programmable delay devices, the at least two signals that induce unwanted crosstalk;
• and
• transmitting by the drive electronics, on two aggressor conductors, the at least two signals that induce unwanted crosstalk, with the at least two signals separated in time by the delay period.
