Abstract :
We present a new realizable reduced order modeling technique for RLC interconnect trees. Both lumped and distributed wire models can be used with this technique. Provable stability is achieved by using Hurwitz polynomials. Moment computation process is avoided but moments can still be matched implicitly. In experiments, the proposed Hurwitz three-pole model can accurately and efficiently capture inductive effect for both near end and far end nodes.
