Résumé:
At high operating frequencies interconnect networks cannot be considered as lumped elements and must be modeled as distributed components using partial differential equations. However, time domain simulators such as Spice require a system description in the form of ordinary differential equations.
Some form of discretization of the partial differential equations describing
the interconnect network is therefore required, thus leading to large systems
of differential equations. This has led to the use of model order reduction (MOR)
techniques as a way to obtain reduced order macromodels of large interconnect
networks. Furthermore parametric reduced order macromodels have also been
recently developed in order to facilitate optimization and simulation.
This presentation provides some insight into the fundamental problems
encountered when simulating distributed components such as high-speed
interconnects, and presents recent work on the model order reduction methods
used to improve the efficiency of interconnect simulation.
