Hmmm,

Well I would suggest developing a set of routing rules that constrain the
spacing between different groups and pairs of signals such that crosstalk
does not occur and for those instances when spacing must be violated write
crosstalk checking rules so that the router gets a DRC rule once the voltage
induced exceeds a threshold limit set by you.

I routinely do this on systems in which I am running around hundreds of
diffpairs running at lvds type levels running greater than a 2Gb/s and PECL
and LVTTL signals are running around on the same layer. CCT has a great set
of crosstalk checking DRC's which allow the autorouter to go off and
correct/check crosstalk violations if spacing is reduced in areas of
connectors and BGA's.

Ron.

Lee is correct. A simulator with the ability to perform
crosstalk checks on these layers would be of great
benefit.
