Exact Output Response Computation of RC Interconnects under Polynomial Input Waveforms

Accurate output response computation of RC interconnects under various input excitations is a key issue in deep submicron delay analysis.In this paper,we present an exact analysis of output response computation of a distributed RC interconnect under input signals that are polynomial in time tn.A simple,recursive equation that helps us to calculate the interconnect response under higher order polynomial inputs in terms of the lower order polynomial responses is derived.To the best of our knowledge, this is the first exact output response analysis of RC interconnects under generalized polynomial inputs.
