Abstract
System and apparatus for capacitively coupling signals with an integrated circuit (IC) are described. Capacitive elements disposed with a transmitting IC effectively function as AC coupling capacitors for a PCIe, DisplayPort™ or other interconnect linking the transmitting IC with a receiver disposed remote there from. Integrating the coupling capacitors allows for a smaller and more economical design for the circuits that utilize the interconnect.
