Interconnect Modeling for High Speed Digital Circuits – the Role of RLC Coupling

Suaya R., Mentor Graphics, FR

The modelisation of capacitance and inductance of wires for timing and noise simulation of digital circuits is discussed. Different domains characterized by the length of the wires and the driving strength require different approximations in [...]

Challenges of Modeling VLSI Interconnects in the DSM Era

Arora N.D., Simplex Solutions, US

As VLSI technology shrinks to deep sub-micron (DSM) geometries (below 0.18mm), the parasitic due to interconnects are becoming a limiting factor in determining circuit performance. An accurate modeling of interconnect parasitic resistance (R), capacitance (C) [...]
