Summary :

A novel method is presented to compute moments of high-speed VLSI interconnects, which are modeled as coupled RLC trees. Recursive formulae of moments of coupled RC trees are extended to those for coupled RLC trees by considering both self inductances and mutual inductances. Analytical formulae for voltage moments at each node are derived explicitly. The formulae can be efficiently used for estimating delay and crosstalk noise. The inductive crosstalk noise waveform can be accurately and efficiently estimated using the moment computation technique in conjunction with the projection-based order reduction method. Fundamental aspects of the proposed approach are described in details. Experimental results show the increased accuracy of the proposed method over that of the traditional ones.
