Fast Latency-Insertion-Method-Based Eye Diagram Simulation Incorporating Crosstalk

Abstract

Crosstalk in high-speed links is a serious concern as the operating frequencies becomes higher and with increasing levels of integration. Eye diagrams have revealed to be a useful tool for assessing the quality of a channel and as such, should include the effects of crosstalk. In this paper, we propose a fast and accurate eye diagram simulation method for crosstalk-included noise based on the latency insertion method (LIM). The simulation results and the speed are compared with those from commercial software.
