ELEC 7770 Advanced VLSI Design Spring 2010 Interconnects and Crosstalk
Vishwani D. Agrawal James J. Danaher Professor ECE Department, Auburn University Auburn, AL 36849 Spring 10, May 4 ELEC 7770: Advanced VLSI Design (Agrawal)

ELEC 7770: Advanced VLSI Design (Agrawal)
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.
