Abstract :
Wireline transceivers for high-speed data transmission through backplane and ethernet cables are important applications for microelectronic and nanoelectronic CMOS technologies. Although many circuit simulators provide correct system-level and transistor-level simulations, they usually fail to give correct results for many highly lossy or/and highly dispersive channels. This paper discusses the advanced simulator that we developed. It can give correct simulation results for those channels. It can also process those channel model files to allow commercial circuit simulators to give correct results. This simulator when used together with commercial simulators gives correct system-level and transistor-level simulation results.
