A printed circuit board having reduced routing congestion and a method of connecting components on a printed circuit board is disclosed. In one embodiment, a printed circuit board includes a memory controller and memory device. Signal pins of the memory controller and the first memory device are organized into one or more buses based on common functionality, which may be address, data, or command, or any combination thereof. The printed circuit board further includes a plurality of traces connecting each of the signal pins of the memory controller to any one the signal pins of the first memory device belonging to the same bus. The memory controller is configured to associate each one of the signal pins of the memory controller with one of the signal pins of the first memory device that are connected by a plurality of traces.
