TRANSIENT SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS OF TRANSMISSION LINES IN HIGH-SPEED VLSI CIRCUITS
高速VLSI电路中传输线瞬态响应的灵敏度分析

The characteristics method is introduced to analyze the transient sensitivity of transmission lines in high-speed VLSI circuits with respect to the transmission line parameters or terminal parameters, supplying a useful tool for the optimization design of interconnects in VLSI circuits. The characteristics method differs from the existing sensitivity analysis method based on the Numerical Inverse Laplace Transform(NILT) technique mainly in that the characteristics method can deal with nonlinear terminals and arbitrary transmitted signals.
