FILTERING HIGH SPEED SIGNALS

摘要

A method for filtering a data signal includes transmitting the data signal from a transmitter to a receiver across a conductor disposed in an interposer, which interconnects the receiver and the transmitter. The data signal is low-passed with a filter, which includes a passive resistive element disposed within the interposer and coupled in series electrically with a passive inductive element. In relation thereto, the interposer is disposed in a position within the interposer, or upon a surface thereof. The filter is coupled to the conductor in a shunt configuration with respect to ground.

1. A circuit for filtering a data signal, the circuit comprising:
an interposer component, comprising a plurality of conductors disposed within a semiconductor substrate; a receiver component electrically coupled to a first end of at least one of the plurality of conductors; a transmitter component electrically coupled to a second end of the at least one of the plurality of conductors and interactively operable with the receiver component therewith for exchanging the data signal; and a filter component, comprising a passive inductive device coupled electrically in series with a passive resistive device, which is disposed within the interposer component, wherein the filter component is electrically coupled to the at least one of the plurality of conductors, in a shunt configuration with respect to a ground potential, and operable for low-passing the data signal.
