Abstract

This paper presents an efficient method to estimate the maximum SSN (simultaneous switching noise) for ground interconnection networks in CMOS systems using Taylor's series and analyzes the truncation error that has occurred in Taylor's series approximation. We assume that the curve form of noise voltage on ground interconnection networks is linear and derive a polynomial expression to estimate the maximum value of SSN using $\alpha$-power MOS model. The maximum relative error due to the truncation is shown to be under 1.87% through simulations when we approximate the noise expression in the 3rd-order polynomial.
