Trace Length Tolerance Calculation - High Speed PCB Design


I have to interface a video format converter with a ADC IC, which converters RGB analog data to digital. The connection between this ADC and Converter is a 20 bit data bus which clocks at about 170MHz. Since I have the PCB area constraints I cannot perfectly match the trace length of this data bus. I heard that there are matched trace length tolerances depending on frequency so that it will not damage the signal acquisition by the destination.


My question is how to calculate trace length tolerances in a High Speed PCB design? (in differential pair routing and high speed data bus routing)

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
