Abstract
This paper addresses the behavioural modelling of digital integrated circuit buffers for performance assessment of high-speed data links. A new modelling technique, with several important advantages is described. All the requirements of black-box identification are met: the approach relies exclusively on the observation of the external port voltages and currents, thus allowing the extraction of models that mimic the operation of real devices without insight on their internal structure. Furthermore, unlike the standard algorithms currently used in EDA tools, the method described in this study provides a straightforward solution to modelling the input-output behaviour. Good model performance in overclocking conditions is an important advantage. This study also investigates the possibility of accounting for power-supply voltage variations and provides a simple solution.
