Abstract: A technique for routing signal traces in an electronic package design includes extracting near-end and far-end crosstalk values for traces and vias from a model of the electronic package design. The extracted values are then length-normalized and the normalized values are allocated to coupling factors of a cost-function. A first bus routing for the electronic package design is performed to provide a first routed design. Length segments from the first routed design are extracted and inserted in the cost-function. Crosstalk for each bus net is accumulated using the cost-function. In response to the accumulated crosstalk being less than a determined limit, the first routed design is saved. In response to the accumulated crosstalk being greater than the determined limit, an additional bus routing for the electronic package design is performed.
