  • Publication number: 20220338344
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to phase heterogeneous interconnects for crosstalk reduction are described. In one embodiment, an interconnect includes a plurality of links. A first set of links from the plurality of links communicates signals and a second set of links from the plurality of links provides a return path. The interconnect also includes one or more links from the first set of links that include one or more structures with a larger diameter than a minimum diameter of the one or more links. The larger diameter modifies an inductance or capacitance of the one or more links to provide a heterogenous phase delay amongst the plurality of links. Other embodiments are also claimed and disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20220244291
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for adjusting differential impendence of pins in a socket are described. A socket or test system includes a pin assembly that contains a pin block and pins. The pin block is formed from a material having a first permittivity. The pins include differential pin pairs with a fine pitch and provide electrical contact to an electronic package disposed on the pin block. A volume between each pin of the differential pin pairs or between adjacent pin pairs have a second permittivity that is different than the first permittivity. The volume is filled with air or one or more materials (or air) whose combined permittivity reduces or increases the differential impendence.

  • Patent number: 11106619
    Abstract: The invention concerns the transmission of synchronous data between a master communication module and a slave communication module via a serial data bus, in particular a SPI bus. According to the invention, the data to be transmitted by each of the two master and slave communication modules are encapsulated in a data field (31) of at least one frame further comprising a frame identifier (30), and two frames are exchanged simultaneously between the two master and slave communication modules according to at least one predefined sequencing corresponding to a unique pairing of the identifiers of the two frames exchanged simultaneously. The integrity of a communication can therefore be controlled by verifying the sequencing of the exchanged frames.
