Delay and reflection noise macromodeling for signal integrity management of PCBs and MCMs

The current approaches to generating wiring rules for high speed PCBs and MCMs are unsatisfactory because they require intensive manual efforts or use over-simplifications In this paper, an automated approach based on a-priori simulation-based characterization of the interconnect circuit configurations is presented. The improved flexibility and accuracy provided by this approach, when compared with traditional approaches, are demonstrated via an MCM interconnect example.<
