🎶 Cut diffpairs into pieces
This is my board rework
@azonenberg I want to hear the rest!

@xabean I'll need to write it first lol.

The way these things usually go is one line pops into my head and I may or may not put the time into doing the whole song later

@xabean but that line becomes the anchor of the whole thing. It may not be the opening or chorus it might be just a random lyric that hits me
@azonenberg EMI shield, no bleeding, don't even dare to solder while breathing
@azonenberg immediate thought: "I think that makes it a diffquad"

but before I could post this, my brain latched onto that word and now I'm trying to figure out how an actual diffquad would work
@azonenberg option 1: arrange three of them spatially around the fourth across multiple layers, connect the outer three together, treat the whole thing as a weird hybrid between a coaxial cable and a diffpair

option 2: send 3 bits at a time over three of the wires as if they weren't part of a diffwhatever, hold the fourth one at vddio/2 and if anyone asks why you make up some really advanced sounding technobabble
@emily look at mipi c-phy for more cursed ideas
@emily they managed to make a sort of differential triplet
