Abstract

Generally, it is better to use closed form expressions instead of simulation tools to predict coupling effects in a circuit and evaluate noise voltages characteristics. A new RLC crosstalk noise expression, based on an RLC transmission line model propagating each propagation mode, has recently been proposed and has been validated in previous works. From this expression, we propose in this paper to calculate the noise characteristics such as the maximum amplitude and the noise pulsewidth. They provide information on the way to modify the circuit structures or interconnect designs to reduce or control crosstalk noise more rapidly than by setting about electrical simulations.
