Tóm tắt

Transients in shielded on-chip interconnections are studied theoretically for grounded and ungrounded shields. The model is based on analytical solutions to telegrapher's equations. The properties of interconnections and shields are identified that affect transients and propagation delays in signal lines. It is shown that cross coupling may exist between lines using a common shield. The magnitude of electromagnetic interference in shielded lines is estimated.
