Abstract: A method for controlling crosstalk between multiple noise generating wiring tracks and a quiet wiring track by determining a parallel common run length and determining the number of threshold lengths into which the maximum parallel common run length is divided. The space between the quiet wiring track and each wiring track of the noise generating wiring tracks is determined. Multiple metal wiring track structures on one metal wiring level of and multiple metal wiring track structures on another metal wiring level of an integrated circuit that are formed as segments that have various distances between the metal wiring track structures of one wiring level and multiple metal wiring track structures of the other wiring level to form a stair-step or ladder structure that controls individually the spacing applied between multiple active noise wiring track structures and one quiet wiring track structure.
