  2. Organization • Chapter 2a • Linear System • First Order Analysis (Elmore Delay) • Second Order Analysis • Chapter 2b Moment calculation and AWE • Chapter 2c Projection based model order reduction

  3. Laplace Transformation • Definition: time domain frequency domain Linear Circuit Time domain (t domain) Complex frequency domain (s domain) Linear equation Differential equation Laplace Transform L Inverse Transform Response waveform Response transform L-1

  4. Resonant frequencies Poles and Zeros of H(s) • Scale factor: K = bm/an • Poles: s = pk (k = 1, 2, ..., n) • Zeros: s = zk (k = 1, 2, ..., m)

  6. If poles in right-plane, waveform increases without bound as time approaches infinity Complex poles come in pairs that produce oscillatory waveforms Real poles produce exponential waveforms If poles in left-plane, waveform decays to zero as time approaches infinity If poles on j-axis, waveform neither decays nor grows Poles and Waveforms

  16. 2 R4 R2 C4 C2 R1 4 1 s R3 Ri Ci C1 3 C3 i Distributed RC-Tree • The network has a single input node • All capacitors between node and ground • The network does not contain any resistive loop

  17. 2 R4 R2 C4 C2 R1 4 1 s R3 Ri Ci C1 3 C3 i RC-tree Property • Unique resistive path between the source node s and any other node i of the network  path resistance Rii Example: R44=R1+R3+R4

  19. Elmore Delay • Assuming: • Each node is initially discharged to ground • A step input is applied at time t=0 at node s • The Elmore delay at node i is: • Theorem: The Elmore delay is equivalent to the first-order time constant of the network • Proven acceptable approximation of the real delay • Powerful mechanism for a quick estimate

  20. Proof of Theorem

  21. Definition h(t) = impulse response TD = mean of h(t) = Interpretation H(t) = output response (step process) h(t) = rate of change of H(t) T50%= median of h(t) Elmore delay approximates the median of h(t) by the mean of h(t) h(t) = impulse response H(t) = step response median of v’(t) (T50%) Interpretation of Elmore Delay

  22. Elmore Delay Approximation Elmore delay approximates 50% delay

  24. R R R C C C RC-Chain Delay VN Vin R=r · L/N C=c·L/N • Delay of wire is quadratic function of its length • Delay of distributed rc-line is half of lumped RC

  25. Organization • Linear System • First Order Analysis (Elmore Delay) • Second Order Analysis

  26. Stable 2-Pole RC delay calculation (S2P) • The Elmore delay is the metric of choice for performance-driven design applications due to its simple, explicit form and ease with which sensitivity information can be calculated • However, for deep submicron technologies (DSM), the accuracy of the Elmore delay is insufficient

  27. Moments of H(s) • Moments of H(s) are coefficients of the Taylor’s Expansion of H(s) about s=0

  28. Driving Point Admittance • Let Y(s) be an driving point admittance function of a general RC circuit. Consider its representation in terms poles and residues where q is the exact order of the circuit Moments of Y(s) can be written as:

  29. S2P Algorithm • Compute m1, m2, m3 and m4 for Y(s) • Find the two poles at the driving point admittance as follows: • To match the voltage moments at the response nodes, choose • and the S2P approximation is then expressed as: Note that m0* andm1* are the moments of H(s). m0*isthe Elmore delay.
