CROSSTALK ESTIMATE FOR CMOS-TERMINATED RLC INTERCONNECTIONS

For two lossy lines in a homogeneous medium with CMOS terminations, a simple crosstalk estimate for cases with small loads has been derived previously [1] for cases where the CMOS drivers and receivers are mode led as RC elements, Here a bound on the load capacitance is presented, below which this simple estimate is valid, For cases with loads large r than the load of the above criterion, two approximate crosstalk expr essions are derived For parameters within a wide range, it is shown th at these tea approximations can serve as upper and lower bounds for ma ximum crosstalk estimates.
