Single-layer bus routing for high-speed boards
… increase, the timing requirements on high-speed boards become very tight. Since wire length is directly proportional to wire delay of the buses that connect each chip on high-speed boards, each wire in the bus has to be tightly bounded by the maximum and minimum lengths during routing. These …
