As electronic system design evolves to the era of chip-packaging co-design, signal quality prediction and optimization are becoming important for system level interconnects. In this paper, an analytical method for predicting the worst-case jitter and eye-opening based on an arbitrary bitonic step response is proposed. Experimental results show that the proposed technique is able to achieve as small as less than 5% error compared to Hspice simulation. The analytical method is then utilized for fast optimization of a novel distributive passive compensation scheme.

System level simulation and validation of a new macromodeling methodology based on IBIS (Input/Output Buffer Information Specification) models is presented. Enhancements of the black-box techniques discussed in [1] are discussed. The proposed macromodel is circuit based and can be customized by model makers or users. The new macromodel produces models that can be simulated accurately for Simultaneous Switching Noise (SSN). To demonstrate the solution, a CMOS voltage-mode driver circuit and a MICRON DDR2 driver are simulated using real life package models and compared with equivalent circuits created with IBIS models of the same drivers.

In this paper, we propose a fast electromagnetic simulation technique using multi-rate FDTD (finite-difference time-domain) method. In this work, the time step size is selected according to the grid cell size of each part in the given space. Then, this method can reduce the calculation costs without violating the stability condition. Finally, some electromagnetic simulations of the example 2-D free space are performed by the proposed method. From the simulation results, the validity and the efficiency of this technique is verified.

The enclosed volume by a substrate integrated waveguide interconnect is re-utilized to increase the channel capacity. A stripline is embedded inside the waveguide, thus a dual-mode or hybrid interconnect structure is created. Isolation and transmission characteristics of the two signal channels are evaluated by fullwave simulations. Measurements of the fabricated prototype demonstrate that the hybrid platform handles an aggregate data rate of 8.5 Gb/s.

This paper proposes an efficient technique for reducing a 3D layered system matrix to a 2D layered one in the framework of the frequency-domain layered finite element method. This technique is capable of solving the volume-unknown based matrix equation in linear complexity, and hence reducing the complexity of 3D-to-2D reduction from O(M3) to O(M2), with M being the number of top/bottom surface unknowns in a single layer. The numerical procedure is rigorous without making any approximation. The technique applies to any arbitrarily-shaped multilayer IC problem. Numerical and experimental results have demonstrated its accuracy and efficiency.

Transient EM simulation using Laguerre polynomials is unconditionally stable and therefore, has the advantage of not being limited by any time-step. In the Laguerre method, the transient waveform of the field of interest is obtained by solving for a set of coefficients. These coefficients are used as weights and the weighted sum of Laguerre basis functions represents the time-domain waveform. This paper proposes a numerical solution to solve for the right number of basis coefficients in order to maximize the accuracy of the output transient waveform of interest. The method of choosing the right number of basis functions outlined in this paper is a key step for automation of the transient simulation technique using Laguerre polynomials.
