Abstract

A trace having a closed periphery interconnect topology. The closed periphery interconnect topology can take the form of a substantially circular, oval, square, or polygon loop. An electrical signal driven onto the trace propagates in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions around the loop. Series terminations can be implemented to optimize performance by providing better matching.
