Abstract

A differential pair (200) is provided by routing a printed circuit board (202) having high density interconnect (HDI) substrate (204) with first and second metal layers (212, 218) such that a first runner (206) forms a zigzag pattern using the two metal layers while a second runner (208) forms a second zigzag pattern on the same two metal layers. The first and second zigzag patterns overlap so as to provide orthogonal signal flow.
