A new moment based technique for timing analysis of tree-like interconnect
RLC circuits is presented.
It is shown to be capable of handling circuits with resistors and inductors
connected to ground and capacitors connected between non-ground nodes,
in addition to the common transmission-tree like structure.
The technique uses a moment-based representation scheme for
circuit elements, an algebra to combine moments and a node absorption strategy.
A linear-time algorithm is presented for computing the moments of the
transfer function.
Experimental results indicate that the scheme is both accurate and
fast enough to handle large circuits.
