Length Tuning

Precise control over trace lengths with automatic meandering to meet critical timing requirements.

Control of timing parameters through precise adjustment of trace lengths with automatic meandering.

Length Tuning

Purpose:
  • Precise conductor length control for delay matching
  • Critical for high-speed interfaces

    • Capabilities and Features:
  • Visual serpentine (meander) editor for precise tuning
  • Automatic serpentine addition to achieve required length
  • Support for different serpentine styles (trombone, trapezoidal, amplitude)
  • Group tuning of buses with crosstalk minimization
  • Automatic calculation of required length based on constraints
    • Connections with Other Sections:
  • Integrates with High-Speed Design Tools
  • Interacts with Constraint Manager for applying length rules
  • Connected with Signal Integrity Analyzer for signal quality assessment
