Modeling the effects of transmission media on power supply induced jitter

Abstract

In this paper, a method is presented to estimate the effect of transmission media on power supply induced jitter for a voltage-mode driver circuit. Transmission media is represented via its equivalent models of transmission lines while calculating the power supply induced jitter. The proposed semi-analytical method for jitter analysis is compared against the conventional simulations (commercial tools) in a 55nm technology of STMicroelectronics. A reasonable matching is reported.
