Exact Output Response Computation of RC Interconnects Under General Polynomial Input Waveforms

[摘要] Accurate output response computation of RC interconnects under various input excitationsis a key issue in deep submicron delay analysis. In this paper, we present an exactanalysis of output response computation of a distributed RC interconnect under inputsignals that are polynomial in time (tn). A simple, recursive equation that helps us tocalculate the interconnect response under higher order polynomial inputs in terms ofthe lower order polynomial responses is derived. To the best of our knowledge, this isthe first exact output response analysis of RC interconnects under generalized polynomialinputs.
