The Effects of Interconnections on High-Speed Logic Circuits
TLDR
It is shown that high-speed circuitry must be miniaturized and the implications are discussed.Abstract:
By way of worked examples in typical but somewhat idealized cases the effect on circuit speed of circuit interconnections is studied. The source, calculation and minimization of interconnection crosstalk is also discussed. It is shown that high-speed circuitry must be miniaturized and the implications are discussed.read more

Analysis of Multiconductor Transmission Lines
T. B. Arabi,T. K. Sarkar +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors outline a methodology for the computation of the response of a multiconductor transmission line terminated by linear networks, where the lines are embedded in a multilayered lossy dielectric media and have arbitrary cross sections, but uniform along the length.

Effects of inductance on the propagation delay and repeater insertion in VLSI circuits
Yehea Ismail,Eby G. Friedman +1 more
TL;DR: The importance of inductance in high-performance very large scale integration (VLSI) design methodologies will increase as technologies scale, as the error between the RC and RLC models increases as the gate parasitic impedances decrease with technology scaling.

Time-Domain Response of Multiconductor Transmission Lines
TL;DR: In this paper, several techniques for the computation of the line response, starting from the known circuit-theory parameters, are presented and evaluated, such as time-stepping solution of the telegrapher equations, modal analysis in the time domain, model analysis in frequency domain, and a convolution technique which uses line Green's functions.

Figures of merit to characterize the importance of on-chip inductance
TL;DR: In this article, a closed-form solution for the output signal of a CMOS inverter driving an RLC transmission line is presented, based on the alpha power law for deep submicrometer technologies.

Equivalent Elmore delay for RLC trees
TL;DR: Closed-form solutions for the 50% delay, rise time, overshoots, and settling time of signals in an RLC tree are presented and have significantly improved accuracy as compared to the Elmore delay for an overdamped response.

Directional Electromagnetic Couplers
TL;DR: In this article, a simple configuration of four wires (or two wires and ground) can serve simultaneously as a directional coupler, filter, and transformer, and the coupled lines may be of equal or different impedance.
