Abstract

The electromagnetic interference (EMI) performances of the interconnects and cables can be predicted via a standard multi-conductor transmission line (MTL) model, while the latter is not valid for the evaluation of power rail collapse and ground bounce responses. To circumvent the limitations, a more general and feasible improved MTL representation is presented in this paper. It physically incorporates the partial resistance and partial inductance parameters of all signal and reference conductors. To consider the frequency dependent behavior of the per-unit-length (PUL) electrical parameters in time domain simulations, a terminal description for this improved MTL model with any desired length is demonstrated. Subsequently, an equivalent node-to-node admittance functions (NAFs) implementation for this terminal representation is carried out. The correctness and effectiveness of the NAFs circuit model in time domain is then numerically validated by analyzing two dedicated examples.
