Crosstalk noise evaluation consists in analysing theeffect of the transition of a signal - called aggressor - onits neighbours - called victims. This evaluation is basedon a model that estimates the peak noise produced oneach victim. However, from a victim's point of view, notall its aggressors are able to make a transition at thesame time. Thus, determining the active aggressors of avictim at a given time is a key point to get a realisticestimation of the noise. In this paper, we present a staticanalysis method for crosstalk noise evaluation. Thepurpose is to calculate the "maximal noiseconfiguration" that is likely to occur of each signal. Theproposed approach is based on an event-drivenalgorithm. First, the instability periods of signals arecalculated. Then, using these periods, the maximal noiseconfiguration is obtained for each victim.
