It is adopted in this article to demonstrate how it can be used while paving a rigorous step-by-step procedure for the transmitter characterization and the reliable evaluation of the receiver equalization. A wide range of experiments are carried out to demonstrate the effective applicability of the COM method for optimizing the 100 Gbps four-level pulse amplitude modulation signaling and for pushing the channel design toward the length (and loss) limits.","PeriodicalId":100646,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Signal and Power Integrity","volume":"4 ","pages":"109-115"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143856266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, a direct IBIS switching coefficient modification algorithm that improves IBIS simulation accuracy by including the nonlinear jitter effect is presented. Compared with the previous IBIS-modification algorithms, the new algorithm is more straightforward, as it considers the time-averaged power supply noise effect on both the switching coefficient transition edge and the output transition edge. By addressing the nonlinear jitter, the model is more robust under conditions of significant power supply noise, both in terms of the output waveform shape and jitter estimation. This modification algorithm is implemented on an inverter chain circuit and a realistic double data rate (DDR) model. The performance with dc power noise, ac power noise, and multitone power noise is validated. The new proposed algorithm significantly enhances jitter modeling accuracy, reducing the maximum jitter prediction error from 47.3% to 8.19% in the inverter chain case under complex multitone power noise and from a maximum of 80% to below 20% in the realistic DDR model, compared with the previous algorithm.","PeriodicalId":100646,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Signal and Power Integrity","volume":"4 ","pages":"55-64"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143748737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The floating shape located under the gold finger of the DIMM is not connected to any signal line or power/ground planes, but overlaps multiple signal lines. This structure can effectively enhance mutual capacitance coupling between signal lines, thereby alleviating the far-end crosstalk noise. For verification, the simulated results of the far-end crosstalk voltage and eye diagram are compared. The proposed structure shows that the far-end crosstalk voltage is greatly reduced from 44.8 to 24.0 mV and the eye diagram is improved by about 17% for both eye height and width.

Especially in the logic-on-memory (LoM) scenario with strong industrial feasibility, the 3-D stacking process fully leverages its advantages of extremely high interconnection density and low communication delay, making it well-suited for addressing the bandwidth expansion challenges under the “memory wall” bottleneck. Nevertheless, the heightened integration level and reduced power consumption requirements of the LoM architecture have introduced significant challenges to the power supply of stacking chips. Current EDA tools lack the capability to rapidly and effectively explore the optimal design of LoM power distribution networks (PDNs), and existing SPICE-type 3-D PDN analysis models often encounter challenges with oversimplified modeling approach and idealized power analysis, rendering them unsuitable for LoM structures, such as near-memory computing and high-bandwidth processors in computing/memory stacking scenarios. In this work, we propose for the first time a fine-grained 3-D PDN analysis modeling approach designed for LoM stacking architecture. Our modeling method comprehensively accounts for the power supply characteristics within the stacking architectures, and implements fine-grained segmentation and modeling of the full-chip PDN based on the estimated area, power consumption, and backend-of-line dimensions, allowing for rapid and accurate evaluation of power integrity (PI) across different PDN design schemes before the physical design stage. Furthermore, we explore the optimal 3-D LoM PDN design across various physical design spaces, including multilayer PDN connection schemes, metal layer configuration, and through-silicon via placement density. The final analysis result is applied to guide the practical physical design of the LoM PDN, highlighting the significance of our modeling approach in 3-D chip PI analysis and 3-D PDN design optimization.","PeriodicalId":100646,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Signal and Power Integrity","volume":"4 ","pages":"65-80"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143792932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The contribution is embodied in the development of a specialised analytical model to accurately estimate jitter caused by ground-bounce noise in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor inverter circuits. This work is highly relevant in the area of high-speed very large-scale integrated circuit design as it provides significant theoretical contributions for the estimation of jitter and assessment of signal quality using eye diagrams. The input–output relationship has been utilized to derive rising transition edges. Building upon this derivation, analytical equations have been developed to predict jitter for output transitions considering falling ramp inputs in the inverter. The eye diagram model is illustrated after integrating the rising transition edges concurrent with the falling transition edges. The robust analytical framework yields consistent results, aligning closely with simulated predictions and the physical measurements using HEX inverter ICs provide validation to the proposed modeling.
