PACKAGE PIN PATTERN FOR DEVICE-TO-DEVICE CONNECTION

Examples described herein relate to a pattern of pins where the signals assigned to the pins are arranged in a manner to reduce cross-talk. In some examples, a socket substrate includes a first group of pins that includes a first group of data (DQ) pins separated by at least two Voltage Source Supply (VSS) pins from a second group of DQ pins and a third group of DQ pins separated by at least two VSS pins from a fourth group of DQ pins. In some examples, data strobe signal (DQS) pins are positioned in a column between the first and third groups of DQ pins and the second and fourth groups of DQ pins. In some examples, a second group of pins includes a first group of DQ pins separated by at least two VSS pins from a second group of DQ pins and a third group of DQ pins separated by at least two VSS pins from a fourth group of DQ pins. In some examples, the second group of pins, DQS pins are positioned between the first and third groups of DQ pins and the second and fourth groups of DQ pins.
