Abstract

We have created a stochastic impulse-response (IR) moment-extraction algorithm for RC circuit networks. It employs a newly discovered Feynman Sum-over-Paths Postulate. Full parallelism has been preserved. Numerical verification results for coupled RC lines confirmed rapid convergence. We believe this algorithm may find useful application in massively coupled electrical systems, such as those encountered in high-end digital-IC interconnects.
