Multi-Rate Latency Insertion Method with RLCG-MNA Formulation for Fast Transient Simulation of Large-Scale Interconnect and Plane Networks

In this paper, a fast transient simulation technique using the multi-rate LIM (latency insertion method) with RLCG-MNA formulation is proposed for large-scale interconnect and plane networks. In the proposed method, the time step size is selected adequately for every sub-network according to the LC value of each sub-network. Then, this method can reduce the calculation cost without violating the stability condition. Finally, some simulations of the example networks are performed with the proposed method. From the simulation results, the validity and the efficiency of this technique are verified.
