Abstract: Systems and methods for routing of conductive traces in a printed circuit board are described. In one embodiment, the method may include routing a first trace in a first layer of a printed circuit board of a solid state drive, routing a second trace in a second layer of the printed circuit board, and routing the first trace and the second trace between a serializer/deserializer (SerDes) of a first controller of the solid state drive and a SerDes of a second controller of the solid state driver. In some cases, the first trace and the second trace may be configured to transmit differential signals to communicate data between the first controller and the second controller. In some embodiments, the second layer may be adjacent to the first layer.

Abstract: Systems and methods for maintaining a slew rate while loading flash memory dies are described. In one embodiment, the systems and methods may include placing one or more comparator circuits connectively between one or more channel controllers and a plurality of flash memory dies and maintaining a slew rate in relation to the one or more channel controllers writing data to a plurality of flash memory dies inside the solid state drive. In some cases, a hardware controller of a solid state drive may include the one or more channel controllers. In some cases, the plurality of flash memory dies may include at least one NAND die.
