Semiconductor Tools for Differential Pair Design

Who this semiconductor tools page is for

Signal integrity engineers and advanced PCB designers working on high-speed digital interfaces.

Common pain points

• Translating datasheet propagation constants into board-specific length targets.
• Over-tuning traces because stackup changes after initial calculations.
• Limited documentation tying material choices to time-of-flight impact.

Implementation playbook

Put these semiconductor tools into practice with a repeatable process that scales from prototype to production.

1. Lock interface assumptions. Use the skew planner to define allowable pair length mismatches and share with layout contractors.
2. Cross-check via tuning. Combine skew and via data to keep impedance continuous when switching layers.
