Method and apparatus for transmitting data that utilizes delay elements to reduce capacitive coupling

The present invention generally relates to methods of transferring data between a data-transmitter and a data-receiver. More specifically, the invention relates to data-transmitters, data-receivers, and methods of broadcasting data onto a bus that reduce effective capacitive coupling (and data errors resulting from such capacitive coupling) between parallel interconnects during such data transfers. A method of broadcasting N, an even integer, bits of data onto a bus that includes a first plurality of electrical conductors and a second plurality of electrical conductors. The method includes: broadcasting a first portion of data that includes N/2 bits of data onto the first plurality of electrical conductors. Then, after a time period has elapsed that is greater than 0 seconds and less than the time period required to transfer 2 bits of data sequentially on one of the first plurality of electrical conductors, broadcasting a second portion of data that includes N/2 bits of data onto the second plurality of electrical conductors.
