Abstract: Signal transmission cables and serial interfaces with built-in signal boosting are provided. In some implementations, a signal transmission cable or interface for boosting signals comprises boosting circuitry. The boosting circuitry may comprise at least one boosting capacitor configured to be operatively coupled to a voltage supply during a charging phase and configured to be operatively coupled to the at least one line of a signal transmission cable or interface during a discharging phase, wherein, during the discharging phase, the at least one boosting capacitor boosts a voltage of the one or more signals transmitted on the at least one line. The boosting circuitry may comprise switching circuitry configured to switch the at least one boosting capacitor between from being operatively coupled to the voltage supply to being operatively coupled to the at least one line of the signal transmission cable or interface.
