This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of top-level simulations incorporating all parasitic elements in a Complex chip environment. We examine the settling time and resolution in a 1.5 TeV input scenario, analyzing the impact of parasitic resistance on performance and noise issues as seen in FPPA2000. The results include worst-case plots, a detailed understanding of the Logic Input Transfer Function, and proposed optimizations. Conclusions reflect the high performance demands despite minimal transistor count, emphasizing the importance of parasitic management for verification and testing preparations.

Conclusions • Complex chip: not so many transistors, but high demands on performance • Parasitic resistance really does seem to be the cause of the problems we had with FPPA2000 • FPPA2000 noise reproduced in simulation • Layout optimizations • Some circuit tweaks • Top-level simulations with all parasitics predict performance which meets specs • Consider preparation for verification and test
