Abstract
In this paper, on-chip interconnects are modeled as distributed parameter RLCG transmission lines, based on which the matrix ABCD of interconnects is deduced. With help of the ABCD matrix, a voltage transfer function of an interconnect system, consisting of a driver, interconnect line and load, is obtained analytically in the form of a transcendental function, and it is reduced to a finite order system based on high order Pade approximation. With the reduced-order transfer function, response waveforms with step input can be obtained, and signal delay can be calculated consequently. Two numerical experiments are conducted to demonstrate its efficiency.
