Model order reduction using spline-based dynamic multi-point rational interpolation for passive circuits

The efficient modeling of integrated passive components and interconnects is vital for the realization of high performance mixed-signal systems. In this paper, we develop a dynamic multi-point rational interpolation method based on Krylov subspace techniques to generate reduced order models for passive components and interconnects that are accurate across a wide-range of frequencies. We dynamically select interpolation points by applying a cubic spline-based algorithm to detect complex regions in the system's frequency response. The results indicate that our method provides greater accuracy than techniques that apply uniform interpolation points. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2007.
