Abstract
The Balanced Truncation Method (BTM) is applied to an even distributed RC interconnect case by using Wang’s closed-forms of even distributed RC interconnect models. The results show that extremely high order RC interconnect can be high-accurately approximated by only third order balanced model. Related simulations are executed in both time domain and frequency domain. The results may be applied to VLSI interconnect model reduction and design.
