1. A method comprising:

  • recognizing a differential pair;

    combining the differential pair into one or more trunks;

    determining a propagation delay over the differential pair;

    comparing the determined propagation delay to a timing constraint;

    adjusting a length of the one or more trunks, if the timing constraint is not met;

    repeating the determining, comparing, and adjusting, if the timing constraint is not met, until the timing constraint is met or until the timing constraint cannot be met; and

    producing an adjusted differential pair from the one or more trunks, if the timing constraint is met.
