Abstract :
This paper addresses the development of behavioral macromodels of differential drivers for the assessment of signal integrity and electromagnetic compatibility effects in high-speed digital systems. The obtained macromodels are readily implemented as SPICE-like subcircuits to be included in any circuit simulation environment. Accuracy and efficiency of macromodels are assessed by applying the proposed methodology to actual differential devices.
