Fast and Accurate Jitter Amplification Modeling With Variable Pulse Width Response for Statistical BER Analysis in Chiplet Interconnects and Beyond

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate Statistical Bit Error Rate (BER) analysis for low-loss short-reach chiplet interface and high-loss long-reach serial interface. We used jitter filtering to account for the residue jitter not tracked by a forwarded clock system and proposed a fast and exact Statistical BER method to account for the Tx jitter amplification effect in a high-loss channel. Our proposed method achieves a linear computation complexity.
