Abstract
The interconnections used in packaging of modern circuits introduce the delays that are comparable or even greater than the delays of gates. This causes the degradation of overall system performance. One may choose to solve the problem of delay by increasing the density of the system. This, however, introduces the problem of “crosstalk.” The analysis of delay and crosstalk in a system of interconnections requires the use of computer simulation. This paper introduces a very efficient and flexible time‐domain analysis technique to predict the reflections and crosstalks. Numerical results show that this technique is indeed efficient and accurate in the transient analysis of general multiple coupled‐line systems. The algorithm yields an equivalent linear hybrid n‐port network for the interconnection system that facilitates the analysis of interconnections together with driving and receiving circuits with the aid of standard network analyzers like, for example, SPICE.
