- In this paper, new formulations for the energy dissipation of lossy transmission lines driven by CMOS inverters are provided. These formulations are obtained using an approximate...
— We present a method for fast analysis of signal and power integrity based on a recently developed multilayered finite difference method (M-FDM). In order to accurately model m...
- A closed form solution for the output signal of a CMOS inverter driving an RLC transmission line is presented. This solution is based on the alpha power law for deep submicromete...
—Interconnect inductance introduces a shielding effect which decreases the effective capacitance seen by the driver of a circuit, reducing the gate delay. A model of the effectiv...
The current paradigm of using Cu interconnects for on-chip global communication is rapidly becoming a serious performance bottleneck in ultra-deep submicron (UDSM) technologies. C...
