Compact distributed RLC interconnect models-Part II: Coupled line transient expressions and peak crosstalk in multilevel networks

Abstract

For pt. I see ibid., vol. 47, no. 11, (Nov. 2000). Novel compact expressions that describe the transient response of high-speed resistance, inductance, and capacitance (RLC) coupled interconnects are rigorously derived. These new distributed rlc models reveal that peak crosstalk voltage is over 60% larger for 3 GHz high-speed interconnects than predicted by current distributed RC models. Simplified forms of the compact models enable physical insight and accurate estimation of peak crosstalk voltage between two and three distributed RLC interconnects.
