What is Skew?

Skew is defined as the difference in propagation delay between two or more signal paths.

Skew is of greatest concern  between two conductors of a differential pair.

If both path lengths aren’t matched precisely, skew in a  differential pair can lead to  increased Insertion Loss, Impedance Mismatch, Crosstalk and EMI.

Low skew between multiple paths can be important in a parallel bus.
