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

Modelling and analysis of interconnects for deep submicron systems-on-chip.
TL;DR: This thesis addresses the issue of closed form modelling of the response of coupled interconnect systems and considers the feasibility of implementing a regular packet-switched network-on-chip in atypical future deep submicron technology.

Performance criteria for evaluating the importance of on-chip inductance
TL;DR: In this article, two figures of merit are presented for determining whether a section of interconnect should be modeled as either an RLC or an RC impedance, i.e., attenuation that a signal undergoes as it propagates a distance equal to the length of the interconnect line is shown to be a useful figure of merit.

Cross Coupling in High Speed Digital Systems
TL;DR: This paper considers the problem of cross coupling from line to line in multilayer when the excitation function is a fast rise time voltage pulse and curves and equations are given which enable the design of a system with a given system characteristic impedance and a specified cross-coupling ratio.

OTTER: Optimal Termination of Transmission lines Excluding Radiation
Rohini Gupta,L.T. Pillage +1 more
TL;DR: A new metric is defined that specifies the optimal design as a function of input signal rise-time, loading conditions on the line, parasitic resistance in the circuit and discontinuities in the interconnect.

Electrical analysis of interconnections in a solid state circuit environment
TL;DR: A new technique for analyzing the transmission properties of dense integrated circuit interconnections will be discussed and analytical methods for calculation of appropriate equivalent circuit elements representing conductor geometries will be presented.

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.

The engineering design of the stretch computer
TL;DR: This computer, like the 704, is aimed at scientific problems such as reactor design, hydrodynamics problems, partial differential equations etc., its instruction set and organization are such that it can handle with ease data-processing problems normally associated with commercial applications, such as processing of alphanumeric fields, sorting, and decimal arithmetic.

Book
The Atlas supervisor
TL;DR: In this article, a brief description of work originating in the Computer Group at Manchester University is given, where the core store is divided into 512 word "pages"; this is also the size of the fixed blocks on drums and magnetic tapes.
