The design technique efficiently exploits a simplified EM model of the SIW interconnect (surrogate model). The initial design of the SIW structure is obtained by using available empirical equations. A low-resolution EM model with solid walls (grooves) is proposed as an efficient SIW surrogate model for direct EM optimization using a few frequency points. The complete EM optimization of the surrogate model consumes much less time (≪ 20%) than just one simulation of the original EM model (with vias) using a high-resolution grid. The proposed practical technique is illustrated by designing a 10-50 GHz SIW interconnect with microstrip transitions on a standard FR4-based substrate.","PeriodicalId":368866,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Signal Integrity and High-Speed Interconnects","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128137683","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 order to reduce power and area, the DEMUX uses a multi-phase clock architecture that requires a smaller number of latches operating at a slower clock rate than in the conventional tree architecture. To provide low-voltage scalability, the latches operate with a near-tail-to-rail logic swing. It is realized without significant speed penalty by adopting current-sourceless CML-type latches with unconventional settings. It offers a larger noise margin and elimination of logic level converters too. The well-balanced scalable design could possibly broaden the applications of high-speed SerDes in the coming ultralow-voltage many-core era.","PeriodicalId":368866,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Signal Integrity and High-Speed Interconnects","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121249242","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}

For the first time, the algorithm integrates rational functions, genetic concepts, and frequency mapping into a unified CAD tool, which facilitates accurate and fast EM based RF/microwave modeling. Given an RF/microwave modeling problem, highly non-linear and relatively less non-linear model inputs are distinguishable. The algorithm consists of two phases. Starting with a minimal number of EM data and with lowest-order rational functions, Phase 1 systematically produces a sub-model with highly non-linear inputs alone. In Phase 2, an initial overall model is first constructed based on the above sub-model. A hybrid mapping then fine-tunes the initial model to capture the RF/microwave tendencies w.r.t. the less non-linear inputs. The algorithm is illustrated through a practical example.","PeriodicalId":368866,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Signal Integrity and High-Speed Interconnects","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132776026","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}
