Abstract
Methods and apparatus to validate continuous signal phase matching in high-speed nets routed as differential pairs are described. In one embodiment, a primary net of a differential pair may be traversed to determine whether a design rule violation has occurred based on comparison of calculated trace lengths of the primary net and a secondary net against a threshold value. Other embodiments are also described.
