A length matching routing method for disordered pins in PCB design

In this paper, for the disordered pins in printed circuit board (PCB) design, a heuristics algorithm is proposed to obtain a length matching routing. We initially check the longest common subsequence of pin pairs to assign layers for pins. Then, adopt single commodity flow to generate base routes. R-flip and C-flip are finally carried out to adjust the wire length. The experiments show that our algorithm generates the optimal routes with better wire balance within reasonable CPU times.
