Accurate noise modeling in digital designs

A novel approach to cross-talk analysis takes effective account of the nature of cross-talk interference. This approach employs conservative assumptions regarding (1) the equivalent output resistance, and (2) the definition of noise immunity for the victim gate. Also, this approach uses signal and noise current metrics in modeling the parameters of the active device elements. This approach provides an expectation of detection and elimination of noise hazards that might otherwise not be undetected.
