Abstract
An analytical method for estimating crosstalk noise peak time, peak value and the corresponding worst case noise (WCN) pattern is proposed in this thesis. Based on the transfer function from aggressor line to victim line, the peak crosstalk noise (Vpeak), peak crosstalk noise time (Tpeak) on the victim line which is attacked by aggressor line can be found. Different from past modeling method, the driver of aggressor line and the driver output resistance of victim line are, respectively, replaced with segmental RC model and voltage dependent model for more accuracy. Compare with Spice simulations, the results obtained by proposed method are close, but execution time is much shorter in 1-2 order. With worst case noise (WCN) patterns for aggressor lines, maximum crosstalk noise on victim line can be found.
