Constrained Aggressor Set Selection for Maximum Coupling Noise
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we consider the problem of selecting a set of aggressor nets that maximize crosstalk induced noise or delay pushout on a coupled victim net, under given constraints. We formulate the problem mathematically and propose efficient Lagrangian Relaxation and network flow based approaches that guarantee an optimal solution. We also formulate and solve this problem while considering the noise susceptibility of the victim’s receiving gate.

Multi-aggressor capacitive and inductive coupling noise modeling and mitigation
Crosstalk noise in on-chip interconnect plays a major role in the performance of modern integrated circuits. Multi-aggressor capacitive and inductive coupling complicates both the modeling and mitigation of the noise. A novel method to model and analyze noise in RLC multi-line structures is proposed in this paper, exhibiting an error of up to 9% as compared to SPICE. This method is physically i...
متن کاملNoise Model for Multiple Segmented Coupled RC Interconnects
Performance of high-speed VLSI circuits is increasingly limited by interconnect coupling noise. We present simple and improved analytical models for noise phenomena due to coupling capacitance. We extend the Π model presented in [4] to accommodate a segmented aggressor. We also include a linear driver resistance in the modeling of both victims and aggressors to measure their estimate on peak no...
متن کاملData bus swizzling in TSV-based three-dimensional integrated circuits
The purpose of this paper is to efficiently exploit swizzling in reducing coupling noise between the bit lines of a TSV-based data bus in three-dimensional integrated circuits. The core concept of swizzling is to distribute the noise of an aggressor to all victims, rather than concentrating on the nearest victim. Based on this principle, an optimal swizzling pattern, which achieves an equal dis...
متن کاملNoise and Delay Uncertainty Studies for Coupled RC Interconnects
The performance of high-speed VLSI circuits is increasingly limited by interconnect coupling noise. In this paper we present a closed-form crosstalk noise model with accuracy comparable to that of SPICE for an arbitrary ramp input. We also develop a simplified delay model for estimating delays on coupled RC lines considering input slew times for both aggressor and victim lines. We then apply ou...
متن کاملAccurate crosstalk noise modeling for early signal integrity analysis
In this paper, we propose an accurate and fast method to estimate the crosstalk noise in the presence of multiple aggressor nets for use in physical design automation tools. Since noise estimation is often part of the inner loop of optimization algorithms, very efficient closed-form solutions are needed. Previous approaches model aggressor nets one at a time, assuming that the coupling capacita...
