Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a printed circuit board; a first component on the printed circuit board configured to generate a differential signal; a second component on the printed circuit board configured to receive the differential signal from the first component; and a differential conductor pair comprising first and second parallel conductors extending along a path between the first component and the second component, wherein the path of the differential conductor pair comprises at least one turn causing a change in direction of the first and second conductors, wherein the first conductor comprises first and second localized skew compensation bends collectively providing localized skew compensation at the turn, and wherein the first localized skew compensation bend is disposed in the first conductor before the turn and the second localized skew compensation bend disposed in the first conductor after the turn such that a portion of the localized skew compensation occurs before the turn and a portion of the localized skew compensation occurs after the turn and such that, at the end of the turn, the first and second conductors have substantially the same length with respect to the first component.
