Abstract
A system includes a driver and multiple loads configured to communicate with the driver. The system also includes a primary signal line configured to transport one or more electrical signals between the driver and the multiple loads. The system further includes multiple branch signal lines each configured to transport at least one of the one or more electrical signals and each coupled to one or more of the multiple loads. In addition, the system includes a splitter coupling the primary signal line and the branch signal lines. The primary signal line has a first characteristic impedance, and the branch signal lines collectively have a second characteristic impedance that matches or substantially matches the first characteristic impedance. In some cases, the primary signal line and the branch signal lines may have equal or substantially equal trace widths.
