How do you reduce your propagation delay?
- Add length correction to the point of discontinuity at the source.
- Place length compensation close to the bends.
- No compensation needed if distance between two bends are closer than 15mil.
- Compensate length differences in vias.
- Route differential pairs within the same interface on the same layer.
- Ensure trace lengths inside the pads are equal.
- Prefer symmetrical breakout of differential pairs.
- Use small loops for shorter traces instead of serpentine lines if there is enough space between pads.
