Abstract :
An efficient method is presented for analysis of large interconnect circuits including lossy coupled transmission lines. Based on multipoint Pade approximations and a new expansion point search algorithm, the method can obtain single close-form frequency-domain and transient solutions of the interconnect problem with a minimum of frequency expansion points
