Abstract
An analytical method for estimating crosstalk noise peak time, peak value and its corresponding input patterns is proposed in this thesis. Through self-written pole/zero analysis program, the transient analysis of interconnect structure is easily realized. Different from past modeling method, the single RC model for driver/receiver is replaced by segmental RC model for more accuracy. The method proposed here offers simulation results close to HSPICE simulations but execution time is much smaller. And the feature has the ability to deal with multi-line interconnect structures. Therefore, through proper alignment for aggressors produces input patterns that cause maximum crosstalk noise.
