Abstract
An apparatus and method are provided for two-channel bidirectional communications between devices for enhanced data signals. In particular, the techniques describe a first transceiver channel configured to receive first data communications from a first transceiver port. A second transceiver channel is also configured to receive second data communications from a second transceiver port. A set of signal pins are configured to receive the first data communications from the first transceiver port at a first group of signal pins and to receive the second data communications from the second transceiver port at a second group of signal pins. The first group of signal pins comprises signal pins in a signal-signal-ground configuration and the second group of signal pins comprises signal pins in a ground-signal-signal-ground configuration.
