A new transmission-line model based on LMIM for order reduction of high-speed IC interconnect analysis

A novel transmission-line model of high-speed IC interconnects is presented based on the linear multistep integral method (LMIM), which has the same form as the RLC circuit equation. Using this method, one can expediently analyze the time response of interconnection networks by the order-reduction algorithm, keeping higher accuracy and efficiency. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
