This board had the following:

Controlled impedance
Parallelism control
Tandem parallelism control (3 layer pairs)
Matched length differential pairs
Matched length star topology
Matched length from2s
Matched length nets

The board was 60% hand routed and 40% autorouted.

The layer count was 14 layers with 6 internal signal layers and only
pin-escapes allowed on the outer layers.

Time taken to do: 293.50 hours
