| Popis: | In this contribution we present a transmission-line based model developed to accurately describe the power and ground-line interconnections of modern digital ASICs. The proposed model employs transmission-lines as the core component to properly describe both the capacitive and inductive behavior of the metal lines. In addition, the non-linear frequency dependence of the line resistance, due to the skin-effect, is modeled with an additional lumped model. The model is completely derived from measurement data, and allows describing both in house and third parties ASICs. High frequency S-parameter measured data are used to benchmark the model. Finally, on-board voltage measurements of a Numonyx 64Mbit flash memory are performed and compared with transistor level simulations. |
