200ps of skew is consistent with long traces on board material like standard FR4 because of uneven dielectric constant produced by uneven fiberglass weave. One way to ameliorate this is to route traces at a diagonal compared to the fiberglass weave. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
