In high density, high speed Serdes interconnect designs, inappropriate pin placement can lead to differential crosstalk violation. How to relatively compare the crosstalk level due to various pin placements, and estimate its effect on the whole system without time consuming simulation is critical. This paper introduces a simple method to estimate the relative differential crosstalk due to various pin distributions. The effectiveness of this method is investigated using commercial 3D electromagnetic software.How the surrounding environment can affect the crosstalk level is also studied in this article.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
