"Trace length variation across DUTs should be kept within ±100ps."

Anybody know how much "±100ps" is in any measurement (inch(at)mils)?

Or anybody have formula on how to calculate it for certain material such as Nelco 13 or FR-4.

Pls help me!!

speed of signal at FR4 PCB is 140-180ps/inch

In ur case for +-100ps

length should be 0.55-0.72 inches

with the above rule u can calculate.For more information refer to Chapter1 of High Speed Digital Design by Johnson&Graham
