Patent ID: 7440291

Claim:
An information handling system comprising: a processor; a memory communicatively coupled to the processor; and a circuit board communicatively coupled to the processor, the circuit board comprising: a voltage plane forming at least a portion of a first layer of the circuit board, the voltage plane operable to provide an electrical current; a ground plane forming at least a portion of a second layer of the circuit board, the ground plane operable to provide a ground for the electrical current; an electrical trace, electrically distinct from the voltage plane and the ground plane, the electrical trace including a first continuous path and a second continuous path, the first continuous path located closer to the ground plane than to the voltage plane and the second continuous path located closer to the voltage plane than to the ground plane; and first and second conductive vias electrically coupling the first path to the second path at different locations, each of the first and second conductive vias being physically isolated from both the voltage plane and the ground plane; wherein a distance between the first path and the ground plane is substantially equal to a distance between the second path and the voltage plane.
