Abstract :
Due to the application of fast device technologies and the increasing complexity of printed-circuit boards, electromagnetic phenomena, e.g. reflections and crosstalk, gain more and more importance and may even disturb the function of a circuit. In the future, it will be indispensable to already consider phenomena of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) during layout synthesis. In this paper, robust methods are presented that make it possible for the first time to incorporate complex EMC constraints and cost criteria into printed-circuit board routing. This includes both concepts for the development and specification of EMC design models and robust and efficient algorithms for EMC-driven routing that can handle these models
