Signal shielding technique using active shields for non-interacting driver design

摘要

A technique for actively shielding a signal such that a signal driver of the signal only participates in discharge events is provided. Because the signal driver only participates in discharge events, the signal driver is non-interacting with respect to other driver devices. Shield wires are set such that an active transition on the signal causes a discharge of capacitance between the signal and the shield wires.
