interconnect capacitance extraction for system lcd circuits
This paper discusses interconnect capacitance extraction for system LCD circuits, where coupling capacitance is much significant since a ground plane locates far away unlike LSI interconnects. We focus on a pattern matching method with interpolation to implement an accurate and efficient capacitance extraction system, and present good implementations that are suitable for system LCD circuits. To reduce computational cost, interconnect structures are spatially divided into several sub-regions considering capacitance coupling range, and analyzed in each sub-region using a capacitance database pre-characterized by a 3-D field solver. This paper evaluates tradeoff curves between characterization cost and extraction accuracy for four division methods in lattice structures that are basic and common structures in LCD driver circuits. Experimental results reveal efficient division methods for accurate capacitance extraction.
