Parametric Macromodels of Drivers for SSN Simulations

This paper addresses the modeling of output and power supply ports of digital drivers for accurate and efficient SSN simulations. The proposed macromodels are defined by parametric relations, whose parameters are estimated from measured or simulated port transient responses, and are implemented as SPICE subcircuits. The modeling technique is applied to commercial high-speed devices and a realistic simulation example is shown

Behavioral Modeling of IC Ports Including Temperature Effects

The development of temperature-dependent macromodels for digital IC ports is addressed. The proposed modeling approach is based on the theory of discrete-time parametric models and allows one to estimate the model parameters from voltage and current waveforms observed at the ports and to implement the model as a SPICE subcircuit. The proposed technique is validated by applying it to commercial devices described by detailed transistor-level models. The obtained models perform at a good accuracy level and are more efficient than the original transistor-level models
