چکیده
In this paper, we analyze coupled transmission lines and obtain a relationship between the moments of the coupled transfer functions. We then derive expressions for the first and second moments of the coupled transfer function which can be used to compute the response and threshold delays under various input excitations. We can compute the interconnectdelay under parasitic coupling effects by using the analytic delay formulas given in [8, 9] for step and ramp inputs. We also present the analysis to compute the general kth moment for the coupled interconnect lines.

Spice Compatible Model for Multiple Coupled Nonuniform Transmission Lines Application in Transient Analysis of VLSI Circuits
An SPICE compatible model for multiple coupled nonuniform lossless transmission lines (TL's) is presented. The method of the modeling is based on the steplines approximation of the nonuniform TLs and quasi-TEM assumptions. Using steplines approximation the system of coupled nonuniform TLs is subdivided into arbitrary large number of coupled uniform lines (steplines) with different characteristi...
متن کاملComprehensive Evaluation of Crosstalk and Delay Profiles in VLSI Interconnect Structures with Partially Coupled Lines
In this paper, we present a methodology to explore and evaluate the crosstalk noise and the profile of its variations, and the delay of interconnects through investigation of two groups of interconnect structures in nano scale VLSI circuits. The interconnect structures in the first group are considered to be partially coupled identical lines. In this case, by choosing proper values for differen...

We investigate theoretically and experimentally the characteristics, performance and possible applications of coupled resonator optical waveguides (CROWs). The ability to engineer the dispersion properties of a CROW and especially the ability to realize ultra-slow group velocities paves the way for various applications such as delay lines, optical memories and all-optical switching.

متن کاملClosed-Form Expressions for Crosstalk Noise and Worst-Case Delay on Capacitively Coupled Distributed RC Lines
Closed-form expressions for a crosstalk noise amplitude and worst-case delay in capacitively coupled two-line and three-line systems are derived assuming bus lines and other signal lines in a VLSI. Two modes are studied; a case that adjacent lines are driven from the same direction, and the other case that adjacent lines are driven from the opposite direction. Beside, a junction capacitance of ...
متن کاملA Comprehensive Study of Energy Dissipation in Lossy Transmission Lines Driven by CMOS Inverters
In this paper, new formulations for the energy dissipation of lossy transmission lines driven by CMOS inverters are provided, and a new performance metric for the energy optimization under the delay constraint is proposed. The energy formulations are obtained by using approximated expressions for the driving-point impedance of lossy coupled transmission lines which itself is derived by solving ...
