  1. ELEC 7770Advanced VLSI DesignSpring 2010Interconnects and Crosstalk Vishwani D. Agrawal James J. Danaher Professor ECE Department, Auburn University Auburn, AL 36849 vagrawal@eng.auburn.edu http://www.eng.auburn.edu/~vagrawal/COURSE/E7770_Spr10 ELEC 7770: Advanced VLSI Design (Agrawal)

  2. Crosstalk Signal noise due to coupling between interconnects. Victim – affected interconnect; Aggressor(s) – noise causing interconnect(s). Principal cause – capacitive coupling in long parallel wires. Transients behavior. Simulation for functional verification. Avoidance by physical design, perpendicular wires, shielding.

  7. Example • Time t < 0 • Victim at VDD, both neighbors at VDD • Charge on victim = Cg VDD • Time t = 0 • Both neighbors switch, VDD → 0 • Victim’s effective capacitance, Cg + 4C0 • Victim’s voltage = Cg VDD/(Cg + 4C0) < VDD • Time t > 0 • Victim charges to VDD ELEC 7770: Advanced VLSI Design (Agrawal)
