Abstract :
Based on the assumption that crosstalk noise is dual-exponential waveform, in this paper we present the closed-form crosstalk noise metrics including the peak noise amplitude Vp, peak noise occurring time Tp and pulse width Wn. Then using part of our metrics we study aggressors switching times alignment that leads to worst-case crosstalk noise for a quiet victim from the analysis of peak noise window (PNW). The SPICE simulation results confirm the accuracy of our metrics and our analysis.
