A handy way I use, to remember the approximate speed of light, which is also the approximate speed at which an electrical signal travels in a wire is just to think of it as 1 nanosecond per foot.   Approximately.   Original Message

Don't worry about it. This is a CMOS 5V signal, I presume. It only has one load, at the far end of the trace. You do not say what the frequency is, so I will guess that it's on the order of 5-20 MHz. The signal integrity is important, to prevent ringing that would double-trigger the load circuit.

Well even thoughe electricity flowing through a wire is somewhat slower than the speed of light, exactly how much slower is something I do not know about.   What I do know is that the approximation of it being "around" the speed of light has served me very well over

Hmm. My recollection from high school physics was that the speed of propagation along a wave guide was around 90% the speed of light - presumably limited by the dielectric. Signals along a plain old wire, on the other hand, were more like 1/3 the speed of light. Now I'm going to have to
