Abstract :
Techniques for analyzing the signal transmission properties of long resistive interconnects on integrated circuits are presented. Because accurate measurements of propagation characteristics on chip are difficult to make, RC transmission line theory is used to establish exact performance. The results of various simulations are compared to this theoretical performance. Guidance is provided for selecting the number of elements needed to accurately simulate performance under various conditions.
