Abstract
A circuit can include a closed loop bus line having a plurality of connections. The circuit can include a plurality of integrated circuits disposed on the close loop bus line at a respective connection of the plurality of connections. One or more of the integrated circuits can be configured to drive a signal on the closed loop bus line. The closed loop bus line can be configured to prevent signal reflection. For example, in certain embodiments, there are no termination resistors at any of the terminations to reduce size, weight, and/or part count of the circuit.
Claims18
A circuit, comprising:
- a closed loop bus line having a plurality of connections;
- a plurality of integrated circuits disposed on the close loop bus line at a respective connection of the plurality of connections, wherein one or more of the integrated circuits are configured to drive a signal on the closed loop bus line, wherein the closed loop bus line is configured to prevent signal reflection, wherein there are no termination resistors at any of the terminations to reduce size, weight, and/or part count of the circuit.
An aircraft system, comprising:
- a circuit, having:
- a closed loop bus line having a plurality of connections;
- a plurality of integrated circuits disposed on the close loop bus line at a respective connection of the plurality of connections, wherein one or more of the integrated circuits are configured to drive a signal on the closed loop bus line, wherein the closed loop bus line is configured to prevent signal reflection, wherein there are no termination resistors at any of the terminations to reduce size, weight, and/or part count of the circuit.
A method, comprising:
