Automatic a-priori generation of delay and noise macromodels and wiring rules for MCMs

Abstract

The authors point out that the current approaches to generating wiring rules for high speed MCMs are unsatisfactory because they require intensive manual efforts to generate and they present an automated approach based on a-priori simulation-based characterization of the interconnect circuit configurations. The improved flexibility and accuracy provided by this approach, when compared with the rule of thumb approach, are demonstrated via an example.<>
