Abstract-A novel approach to equalization of high-speed serial links combines both amplitude pre-emphasis to correct for intersymbol interference and phase pre-emphasis to compensate for deterministic jitter, in particular, data-dependent jitter. Phase preemphasis augments the performance of low power transmitters in bandwidth-limited channels. The transmitter circuit is implemented in a 90-nm bulk CMOS process and reduces power consumption by pushing CMOS static logic to the output stage, a 4:1 output multiplexer. The received signal jitter over a cable is reduced from 16.15 ps to 10.29 ps with only phase pre-emphasis at the transmitter. The jitter is reduced by 3.6 ps over an FR-4 backplane interconnect. A transmitter without phase pre-emphasis consumes 18 mW of power at 6 Gb/s and 600 mVpp output swing, a power budget of 3 mW/Gb/s, while a transmitter with phase pre-emphasis consumes 24 mW, a budget of 4 mW/Gb/s.

“…To assist microwave designers, accurate modeling of previously neglected second-order effects, such as crosstalk, reflection, delay, and coupling, has become increasingly important during circuit and system simulations. The accurate prediction of these interconnect effects is fundamental for a successful design and involves the solution of large systems of equations which are often prohibitively CPU-expensive to solve [1], [2]. Furthermore, microwave designers have to make the proper tradeoffs between conflicting design requirements using optimization techniques to obtain the best possible performance considering physical effects such as reflection, crosstalk, and propagation delays.…”

Abstract-We present a new parametric macromodeling technique for lossy and dispersive multiconductor transmission lines. This technique can handle multiple design parameters, such as substrate or geometrical layout features, and provide timedomain sensitivity information for voltages and currents at the ports of the lines. It is derived from the dyadic Green's function of the 1-D wave propagation problem. The rational nature of the Green's function permits the generation of a timedomain macromodel for the computation of transient voltage and current sensitivities with respect to both electrical and physical parameters, completely avoiding similarity transformation, and it is suited to generate state-space models and synthesize equivalent circuits, which can be easily embedded into conventional SPICElike solvers. Parametric macromodels that provide sensitivity information are well suited for design space exploration, design optimization, and crosstalk analysis. Two numerical examples validate the proposed approach in both frequency and timedomain.

Abstract-We present a new parametric macromodeling technique for lossy and dispersive multiconductor transmission lines (MTLs), that is suitable to interconnect modeling. It is based on a recently introduced spectral approach for the analysis of lossy and dispersive MTLs extended by utilizing the Multivariate Orthonormal Vector Fitting (MOVF) technique to build parametric macromodels in a rational form. They can handle design parameters, such as substrate or geometrical layout features, in addition to frequency. The presented technique is suited to generate state-space models and synthesize equivalent circuits, which can be easily embedded into conventional SPICE-like solvers. Parametric macromodels allow to carry out design space exploration, design optimization and crosstalk analysis efficiently. A numerical example validates the proposed approach in both frequency and time domain and is focused on the crosstalk analysis.
