Modern PCB design tools permit the definition of design constraints, including constraints relating to high-speed design and EMC, such as topology of connections (routing pin sequence), or overshoot and timing budgets, for example.<\/p>\n<p>These constraints become increasingly important as components and boards become faster and more complex.
