Abstract
In some embodiments, the invention includes a system having first, second, third and fourth modules; and a circuit board including first, second, third, and fourth module connectors to receive the first and second modules, respectively. The system includes among other things a first group of paths of conductors extending from the circuit board to the first module connector, to the first module, back to the first module connector, to the circuit board, to the second module connector, to the second module, back to the second module connector, to terminations, wherein the first group of paths include a first short loop through section in the first module and a second short loop through section in the second module, to each couple to stubs for corresponding first and second chips of the first and second modules.
