Fast method for frequency and time domain simulation of high-speed VLSI interconnects

This paper presents a fast method for frequency and time domain analysis of large lumped and distributed networks. It is based on multi-point moment-matching. The proposed method requires the solution of the network equations at relatively small number of frequency points (typically two to eight points) which makes it 20-100 limes faster compared to conventional simulation techniques. The method is suitable for analysis of VLSI interconnects modeled by mutually coupled lossy transmission lines.<
