When 2 wire segments are in close proximity they interact with each other electrically, this is on account of coupling capacitor between these 2 nets.This Phenomenon is called crosstalk.This coupling capacitor causes crosstalk delay and crosstalk noise.
Crosstalk Delay:
If there is a significant amount of crosstalk between 2 wire segments and both the nets switch(in the same or opposite) direction simultaneously then it results in crosstalk delay.Crosstalk delay can cause setup and hold violations.I leave it to the imagintion of the reader to figure out how this happens.
Crosstalk Noise:
If one net is static and a nearby net rapidly switches,owing to coupling capacitance between these 2 wires we will see a glitch on the static net and this is crosstalk noise.
positive crosstalk delay?
