    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for determination of parameter variability for one or more given interconnects of a plurality of interconnects in a simulated semiconductor circuit. The simulated semiconductor circuit is defined at least in part by a plurality of input parameters. From a distribution of first values of a given input parameter, a plurality of the first values are determined to use when calculating a corresponding plurality of second values for each of one or more output parameters. By using at least the determined plurality of first values for the given input parameter and selected values for other input parameters in the plurality of input parameters, the corresponding plurality of second values are calculated for each of the one or more output parameters. The one or more output parameters correspond to the one or more given interconnects. Each of the second values corresponds to one of the determined plurality of first values.

    摘要: Transmission line macromodels can be classified into main categories of delay-extraction and rational approximation. The exponential solution of the Telegrapher's Equation is used to create a system and method that enable a time-domain circuit simulator to automatically select the most appropriate macromodel for a given transmission line structure.

    摘要: A passive macromodel for lossy, dispersive multiconductor transmission lines uses a multiplicative approximation of the matrix exponential known as the Lie product. The circuit implementation of the macromodel is a cascade of elementary cells, each cell being the combination of a pure delay element and a lumped circuit representing the transmission line losses. Compared with passive rational macromodeling, the Lie product macromodel is capable of efficiently simulating long, low-loss multiconductor transmission lines while preserving passivity. This result is combined with transmission line theory to derive a time-domain error criterion for the Lie product macromodel. This criterion is used to determine the minimum number of cells needed in the macromodel to assure that the magnitude of the time-domain error is less than a given engineering tolerance.
