Delay approximation model for prime speed interconnects in current mode

Abstract

There is enormous demand for high speed VLSI networks in present days. The coupling capacitance and interconnect delay play a major role in judging the behavior of on chip interconnects. There is an on chip inductance effect as we switch to low technology that leads to delay in interconnecting. In this paper we are attempting to apply second order transfer function designed with finite difference equation and transform Laplace at the ends of the source and load termination. Analysis shows that the current signaling mode in VLSI interconnects provide better time delay than the voltage mode.
