The waveform degradation in VLSI interconnections

A simple model for the transfer characteristic of an infinitely long resistive-capacitive (RC) distributed transmission line is presented. This model is used to obtain the time-domain response for a ramp function driving the RC distributed line. This model can be used for studying the effect of the line's electrical parameters on its transient response and can be easily implemented for computer-aided analysis of VLSI circuits.<
