Abstract

The closed-form expressions of distributed RLC interconnects are proposed for analysis of on-chip inductance effects in order to insert optimally the repeaters. The transfer function of a circuit with driver-interconnect-load structure is approximated by the 5th order rational functions. The step responses computed by using the proposed expressions give the good agreement with the SPICE simulations.
