With the rise of AI, machine learning, and massive data exchange between distributed data centers, the need for faster, more reliable transmission has never been greater. Yet as speeds climb, timing differences which is known as differential signal skew, and it can distort signals and cause bit errors. This paper examines how skew develops, its impact on performance, and why precise evaluation is essential for dependable high-speed digital systems.
