Global multi-level reduction technique for nonlinear simulation ofhigh-speed interconnect circuits

摘要

Presents two approaches for simulation of large interconnectnetworks with linearonlinear terminations. The first approach issuitable in forming macromodels of interconnect networks in order to usethem repeatedly in different configurations. The second approach is anonlinear time-domain circuit reduction technique that reduces the wholeinterconnect network including the nonlinear/linear terminations. Thismethod is independent of the number of ports in the system
