As computer clock speeds continue to increase at a rate dictated by Moore's Law, the system
buses must also scale in proportion to the processor speed. As data rates increase beyond …

High-speed data links over copper cables can be effectively equalized using pulse-width
modulation (PWM) pre-emphasis. This provides an alternative to the usual 2-tap FIR filters …

This paper discusses the modeling techniques to account for transmission line high
frequency effects, and proposes a method to integrate these techniques into a practical and …

In high speed digital interconnects; signal attenuation is a result of both dielectric losses and
conductor losses. Previous works have showed in detail, the characterization and modeling …

As computer data rates have increased, designers observed that the standard models for
estimating the impact of copper foil surface roughness on conductor loss are limited to a few …

Future applications in luxury class cars may require digital video transmission with data
rates as high as 1.5 Gbit/s. The signal integrity of an LVDS Serializer/Deserializer video link …

In the frequency-domain modeling of physical systems, such as electric circuits and
electromagnetic-field structures, the problem of maintaining the causality of the time-domain …

In this paper, we established an efficient methodology to build accurate Spice models for
multi-Gbps interconnects in computer systems. The transmission lines are modeled with …

GHz range operating frequencies of today's semiconductor devices demand accurate
interconnect models. Constructing accurate and scalable models require extraction of …

A causality checker is developed and used to validate and improve S-parameter data
