Book excerpt: Abstract: "This thesis presents several techniques for the analysis of substrate-coupled noise in mixed-signal integrated circuits. Advantages and limitations of several commonly employed analysis techniques for substrate coupling are outlined. A preprocessed boundary element technique introduced in this thesis is shown to overcome all the limitations of the prior approaches and results that confirm its accuracy and superior performance are presented. Methods are also discussed that dramatically accelerate the solution of the preprocessed boundary element equations. A methodology that applies these fast techniques to the verification of large mixed-signal circuits and results that confirm its efficiency are described. An application of this complete methodology to the design and verification of an industrial mixed-signal video analog-to- digital converter IC for substrate noise problems that ensured its success on first pass silicon is presented."
