A local circuit topology for inductive parasitics

A novel circuit topology for inductive coupling between interconnecting wires is presented. The model is local, i.e., only coupling between neighboring wires is explicitly modeled. However, the topology accounts for long-range coupling by propagating the vector potential from one wire to the next. Examples of model calibration, both directly from layout and as model-order reduction of a given inductance matrix, are presented for simple wiring structures.
