A 6.5Gb/s shared bus that uses a 65nm CMOS pulse transceiver chip with a low frequency equalizer and electromagnetic connectors based on two types of transmission line couplers is presented. The amount of backplane wiring is reduced by a factor of 1/16 and total connector volume by a factor of 1/246. It reduces the size and weight of a satellite processor system by 60%, increases the data rate by a factor of 2.6, and satisfies the EMC standard for withstanding the strong shock of rocket launch.
