Systems and methods that facilitate resistance and capacitance balancing are presented. In one embodiment, a system comprises: a plurality of ground lines configured to ground components; and a plurality of signal bus lines interleaved with the plurality of ground lines, wherein the interleaving is configured so that plurality of signal bus lines and plurality of ground lines are substantially evenly spaced and the plurality of signal bus lines convey a respective plurality of signals have similar resistance and capacitance constants that are balanced. The plurality of signals can see a substantially equal amount ground surface and have similar amounts of capacitance. The plurality of signal bus lines can have similar cross sections and lengths with similar resistances. The plurality of signal bus lines interleaved with the plurality of ground lines can be included in a two copper layer interposer design with one redistribution layer (RDL).

Resistance and capacitance balancing systems and methods

In one embodiment, a system comprises: a plurality of aggressor bus lines; and a plurality of differential pair bus lines that are located in relatively parallel close proximity to the plurality of aggressor bus lines, wherein at least two of the plurality of differential pair bus lines change location with respect to each other at a point that has a cancelling affect on cross talk from the plurality of aggressor bus lines, wherein the change includes cross over routing. The plurality of differential pair bus lines can convey differential clock signals. The routing of the plurality of differential pair bus lines is substantially parallel to one another before and after the change.
