Abstract
This paper presents a method of obtaining time-domain macromodels of VLSI interconnection networks for circuit simulation. The goal of this work is to include interconnect parasitics in a circuit simulation as efficiently as possible, without significantly compromising accuracy. Stability issues and enhancements to incorporate transmission line interconnects are also discussed. A unified circuit simulation framework, incorporating different classes of interconnects and based on the proposed macromodels, is described. The simplicity and generality of the macromodels is demonstrated through examples employing RC- and RLC-interconnects.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
