Abstract
A method for improving the crosstalk and time-of-flight performance for signals in an integrated circuit with respect to the package-related wiring. I/O pads in the package-related wiring of a logic design meeting specified crosstalk and time-of-flight constraints are identified using a software tool. The tool produces a graphical display in which the identified I/O pads are highlighted. The tool enables a user to graphically manipulate the display to assign, i.e., establish an electrical connection, between I/O circuits corresponding to the signals and the highlighted I/O pads.
