This paper presents comprehensive analytic models that consider both the case of a weak bridge, and the combination of a weak bridge and crosstalk between two interconnects. Our models capture the induced signal delay and pulse as a function of the parameters of the circuit and input signals. Our results are compared with HSPICE and shown to be accurate.

A simulator is developed that implements our models and accurately captures timing (delay) characteristics of a circuit. We contrast our results with others, and show the benefits of this new model as well as the ability to predict the range of resistance that leads to delay errors.
