Abstract :
This paper describes a novel yet highly efficient approach for estimating the time-domain response of capacitive coupled distributed RC interconnects. By using this method, the voltage signal at any particular point in such wires can be accurately and quickly reproduced with very low computational cost. The proposed model exhibits very good agreement with HSPICE simulations with less than 3% worst case error and can be readily implemented in CAD analysis tools.
