Abstract
Data signal interconnections are described that offer reduced cross talk particularly with high speed differential signaling. In one example, the invention includes a plurality of interconnects to carry data signals between a first component and a second component, the plurality of interconnects including a first set of interconnects oriented in a first direction and a second set of interconnects oriented in a second direction, different from the first direction.
Claims11
An apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of interconnects to carry data signals between a first component and a second component, the plurality of interconnects including a first set of interconnects oriented in a first direction and a second set of interconnects oriented in a second direction, different from the first direction;
- wherein the first set of interconnects generates a magnetic field having a first orientation when in use and the second set of interconnects generates a magnetic field having a second orientation when in use and wherein the first orientation and the second orientation are not parallel;
- wherein the first orientation and second orientation are substantially orthogonal;
- and
- wherein the first set and the second set of interconnects each comprise a pin for carrying current from the first component to the second component and a pin for carrying current from the second component to the first component.

A socket comprising:
- a receptacle to receive a microelectronic device;
- a first set of pairs of interconnects to carry data between the socket and a device in the receptacle, the first set of pairs of interconnects generating an inductance having a first orientation when in use;
- and
- a second set of pairs of interconnects to carry data between the socket and the device in the receptacle, the second set of pairs of interconnects generating an inductance having a second orientation when in use, the second orientation being in a direction to reduce cross-talk between the first set of pairs and the second set of pairs;
- wherein second orientation is substantially orthogonal the first orientation;
- and
- wherein each pair of interconnects comprises a pin for carrying current from the first device to the second device and a pin for carrying current from the second device to the first device.
