Abstract
An improved method for reducing timing skew for signals, for example clock signals, that propagate along a circuit board, for example, a memory module, is disclosed. At least one signal trace of a plurality of traces provided on the printed circuit board (PCB) is routed in both a horizontal and a vertical direction such that its path length is substantially the same as the path length of another of said plurality of traces.
