ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for reducing signal degradation, propagation delay, and electromagnetic emission problems inherent in transmission of electrical signals along interconnect lines (such as lines which connect transistors in integrated circuits). The apparatus includes one or more pairs of generally parallel interconnect lines. Each line in each pair comprises line sections, and an inverter is connected between each pair of adjacent sections of each line. The inverters are arranged in staggered fashion, in the sense that the inverters connected along each line of a line pair are offset longitudinally from the inverters connected along the other line of the pair. Both bidirectional and unidirectional buses (groups of generally parallel interconnect line pairs) can be implemented in accordance with the invention. The invention can serve as the basis for increasing the speed of computers and other electrical devices, and permits tight packing of transistors and interconnect lines with minimal crosstalk between the lines.
