Title : Repeater Sizing for Cross-Talk Mitigation in Coupled VLSI Interconnects

Author Name : Gargi Khanna, Rajeevan Chandel , Ashwani Chandel

Synopsis :

Crosstalk between interconnects is simulated by SPICE and the results are analyzed. The analysis shows that crosstalk between interconnects can be controlled by repeater insertion and proper sizing of the repeaters. For the best control of crosstalk smallest size repeaters with a number of repeaters is suggested. The dependence of cross-talk on signal transition time and interconnect length are examined and verified with previously reported results. Distributed RLC transmission line model of interconnect is considered.
