Abstract

A method for minimizing coupling capacitance between wires in a bus comprising shifting by rearranging the order of said wires in said bus so that, aside from said first and last wires in said arrangement, the coupling capacitance across said bus is uniform and minimized relative to the original arrangement. Alternatively, a method for minimizing coupling capacitance between wires in a bus comprising shifting by rearranging the order of said wires in said bus so that, aside from said first and last wires in said arrangement, one of said wires incurs the smallest possible amount of coupling capacitance and then the coupling capacitance across the rest of said wires in said bus gets progressively worse relative to the original arrangement.
