چکیده

In modern monolithic integrated circuits, substrate coupling is a major concern in mixed-mode systems design. Noise injected into the common substrate by fast switching digital blocks may affect the correct functioning or performance of the overall system. Verification of such systems implies the availability of accurate and simulation-efficient substrate coupling models. For frequencies up to a few gigahertz pure resistive models are considered sufficient, but increasing frequencies of operation imply that capacitive coupling analysis also becomes mandatory. In this paper, we motivate the use of dynamic resistive-capacitive (RC) models of substrate coupling as a natural extension to the standard purely resistive models. We propose an extraction methodology that starts from information about the process parameters and the contact layout of the circuit, and leads to a contact-to-contact RC element model. The underlying algorithm is based upon a Finite Difference discretization of the substrate, leading to a large tridimensional mesh which is solved by means of a fast Multigrid algorithm. The proposed model is trivially incorporated into circuit simulation tools. Comparisons are also made to a model obtained using standard model order reduction algorithms and it is shown to be of similar accuracy. The formulation proposed can accurately model substrate coupling effects for frequencies up to several tens of gigahertz. Please use the following format when citing this chapter: Silva, Joao, M.

An Efficient Technique for Substrate Coupling Parasitic Extraction with Application to RF/Microwave Spiral Inductors (RESEARCH NOTE)

This paper presents an efficient modeling method, based on the microstrip lines theory, for the coupling between a sub­strate backplane and a device contact. We derive simple closed-form formulas for rapid extraction of substrate parasitics. We use these formulas to model spiral inductors as important substrate-noise sources in mixed-signal systems. The proposed model is verified for the freque...

Dual-Band Evanescent-Mode Substrate Integrated Waveguide Band-pass Filter for WLAN Applications

A new multi-layer substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) structure is developed to design dual-band evanescent-mode band-pass filters (BPFs). Two independent series LC circuits are implemented by incorporating metallic irises in the different layers of the structure. The combination of the metallic irises with capacitive-plates is embedded inside the SIW to independently excite two evane...

Synchronization for Complex Dynamic Networks with State and Coupling Time-Delays

This paper is concerned with the problem of synchronization for complex dynamic networks with state and coupling time-delays. Therefore, larger class and more complicated complex dynamic networks can be considered for the synchronization problem. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, a delay-independent criterion is obtained and formulated in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs)...
