Zanglinyuan, You're missing two very important pieces of information of the interface. One is the clk/strobe relationship to the data. If they are 90 degrees apart, then all that means is the data can be 90 degrees +/- 1ns from the clk/strobe at the driving end. At the receiving end, you'll need 2.5ns setup and 0.5ns hold time at the pin level (It seems strange that setup and hold time requirement are so different). Total required timing budget for the driving and receiving chips including packages is 5ns. The other important information is the data rate. If you are running at 100Mb/s, the bit width is 10ns. The driving and receiving circuits take 5ns of it and you have 5ns left for the board routing. In this case, you have plenty of margin and should have no problem routing them. You'll need to figure out what the total timing budget that is available for the board/off-chip before you can decide what the routing requirements are. Hope this helps.
