Abstract: In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises: a substrate having a first side and a second side, the second side being on an opposite side of the substrate from the first side, where the substrate has a first location on the first side at which an semiconductor package is to be coupled; and a cable coupled to the substrate on the second side of the substrate at a second location on the second side, the second location being at least partially below the first location.

Abstract: A broadside coupled differential design is described herein. The design may include a differential pair. Each trace of the differential pair includes a wide portion and a narrow portion. The wide portion of the first trace of the differential pair is to be aligned with a narrow portion of the second trace of the differential pair. Additionally, the wide portion of the second trace of the differential pair is to be aligned with a narrow portion of the first trace of the differential pair, such that the wide and narrow portions of the traces of the differential pair are staggered.

Abstract: A circuit component is described herein. The circuit component includes a first signal line to propagate in a first direction and a second signal line to propagate a second direction. The circuit component includes a region to introduce crosstalk within the region that reduces another crosstalk generated at a location remote from the region based on a change in propagation direction of the first signal line and second signal line.

Abstract: Inductive coupling arising between adjacent vias in interconnect technologies (commonly associated with printed circuit boards or package) can be combatted through the addition of metal plates to vias. The plates generate capacitive coupling that can compensate for the inductive crosstalk normally generated between vias in printed circuit boards or packages. When the added plates of two neighboring vias overlap with each other, a capacitive coupling is generated. By balancing the inductive coupling with capacitive coupling, an effective reduction of far end crosstalk may be obtained.
