Distributed vs Lumped Circuits
Three regimes
Lumped circuit regimephysical dimensions� wavelength of signalMaxwell’s equations simplified considerably: wave nature ignored;Kirchoff’s laws, Inductance, Capacitance
Optics regimephysical dimensions� wavelength of signalMaxwell’s equations simplified considerably: Waves become rays;Snell’s law, mirrors, lenses, polarizers
Transmission line/distributed circuit regimephysical dimensions ≈ wavelength of signalMaxwell’s equations cannot be simplified: waves are waves; T-lines,microwave circuits, optical fiber

When is wire a wire?
Waveforms on IC interconnects
Interconnects in ICConnecting leads between driver and receiver in ICGood interconnect minimizes distortion and adds little noiseAll interconnects are transmission lines
Signal on interconnection varies along its lengthForget this fact at your own peril in high-speed IC designs

When is wire a wire?
Time and frequency domain pictures of signals
Signals on interconnects are digital waveformsRise-time tr decides spectral bandwidth and is more importantthan clock frequency
90% energy contained within ≈ 0.24/tr ; Conservative estimate0.35/tr is also used
Pradeep (IITK) Lecture #2 7 / 14
When is wire a wire?
Highest frequency and shortest wavelength
fmax = 0.35/tr commonly taken as highest frequency of interestCorresponding to fmax , shortest wavelength λshort = v/fmax
Distributed regime: physical length l � λshort
“Much less" is arbitrary, say 0.1For fmax=30 GHz in air, λshort = 1cm; l should be no more than0.1cm; People sized objects can’t be treated as lumpedSpeed of EM waves in PCB less than speed in air; 30→14 GHz

Transmission ala Kirchoff
Transmission line model
Stray currents through imperfect dielectrics cause current to bedifferent from source and load ends
Pradeep (IITK) Lecture #2 9 / 14
Transmission ala Kirchoff
Transmission line model
Stray currents through imperfect conductors cause current to bedifferent from source and load ends
Inductance + resistance (=impedance) and capacitance +conductance (=admittance) along the line cannot be ignored
Pradeep (IITK) Lecture #2 10 / 14
Transmission ala Kirchoff
Transmission line model
T-line modeled as circuit containing distributed R,L,C, and Gparameters organized into an infinite number of unit cellsWithin unit cell of length ∆z � λshort , KCL and KVL hold (Why?)
Distributed parameters L and C are calculated using EM theorylater in course

Apply KCL to node N

Transmission ala Kirchoff
Solving T-line equations: Lossless case (R = G = 0)
First-order T-line equations combined to get second-order PDE

(Check)
Current I(z, t) = I+(t − z/up) + I−(t + z/up)
From T-line equations, Z0 = V+
I+ is characteristic impedance
In terms of line parameters, Z0 =√

Transmission ala Kirchoff
Sinusoidal excitation of T-lines: General case
Phasors:Signal of frequency ω rad/s at any z, voltage V (z, t) = R{V(z)ejωt}For fixed z, V(z) is complex number, called phasor
∂V (z, t)/∂t →= −ωR{V(z)ejωt} = R{jωV(z)ejωt}
∂/∂t → jω
T-line equation in terms of phasors:
∂2V(z)
∂z2 = (R + jωL) (G + jωC) V(z) = γ2V(z)
