ABSTRACT:
Induced crosstalk is predicted for the input/output pins of a programmable logic device. Signal edge rates for the input/output pin are determined from selected interface protocols for the input/output pins. For each pair of the input/output pins, a first coupling coefficient specifies a coupling between the pair of input/output pins within a package for mounting the programmable logic device to a printed circuit board. A depth is input for each via coupled to an input/output pin by the printed circuit board. From the via depths, a second coupling coefficient is determined for each pair of the input/output pins that satisfy a separation criterion. For each of the input/output pins, a predicted value of an induced crosstalk is determined from the first and second coupling coefficients for each pair that includes the input/output pin and another input/output pin, and from the signal edge rate of this other input/output pin.
