  5. Moment Matching Projection method • Key ideal of Model Order reduction: “Moments Matching” and “Projection” • Step1: identify internal state function and variables. • Step2: Compose moments matching. (Pade, Taylor expression). • Step3: Project matrix with matching moments. (Block Arnoldi (PRIMA) or block Lanczos (PVL)) • Step4: Get the reduced state function.

  6. Explicit V.S. Implicit Moment Matching • Explicit moment matching methods • Numerically ill-conditioned • Implicit moment matching methods • construct reduced order models through projection, or congruence transformation. • Krylov subspaces vectors instead of moments are used.

  7. Congruence Transformation • Definition: • Property: Congruence transformation preserves semidefiniteness of the matrix

  8. Krylov Subspace • Given an n x q matrix Vq whose column vectors are v1, v2, …, vq. The span of Vq is defined as • Given an n x n matrix A and a n x 1 vector r the Krylov subspace is defined as

  9. PRIMA • Passive Reduced-order Interconnect Macromodeling Algorithm. • Krylov subspace based projection method • Reduced model generated by PRIMA is passive and stable. PRIMA (system of size q, q<<n) (system of size n) where

  10. PRIMA • step 1. Circuit Formulation • step 2. Find the projection matrix Vq • Arnoldi Process to generate Vq

  11. PRIMA: Arnoldi

  12. PRIMA • step 3. Congruence Transformation

  13. PRIMA: Properties • Preserves passivity, and hence stability • Matches moments up to order q (proof in next slide) • Original matrices A and C are structured. • But and do not preserve this structure in general

  14. PRIMA: Moment Matching Proof Used lemma 1

  15. PRIMA: Lemma Proof

  16. SPRIM • Structure-Preserving Reduced-Order Interconnect Macromodeling • Similar to PRIMA except that the projection matrix Vq is different • Preserves twice as many moments as PRIMA • Preserves structure • Preserves passivity, stability and reciprocity • Matching the same number of moment as PRIMA, but preserve the structure which can reduced numerical calculation.

  17. SPRIM • Recall • Suppose Vq is generated by Arnoldi process as in PRIMA. Partition Vq accordingly • Construct New Projection Matrix

  18. SPRIM • Congruence Transformation • Now structure is preserved • Transfer function for the reduced order model

  19. Traditional Y- Transformation • Conductance in series • Conductance in star-structure n0 n1 n2 n1 n2 n1 n1 n0 n3 n2 n2 n3

  20. TICER (TIme Constant Equilibration Reduction) • 1) Calculate time constant for each node • 2) Eliminate quick nodes and slow nodes • Quick node: Eliminate if • Slow node: Eliminate if • 3) Insert new R’s/C’s between former neighbors of N • If nodes j and k had been connected to N through gjN and gkN, add a conductance of value gjNgkN/GN between j and k • If nodes j and k had been connected to N through cjN and gkN, add a capacitor of value cjNgkN/GN between j and k

  21. TICER: Issues • Fill-in • The order that nodes are eliminated matters • Minimum Degree Ordering can be implemented to reduce fill-in • May need to limit number of incident resistors to control fill-in • Error control leads to low reduction ratio • Accuracy • Matches 0th moment at every node in the reduced circuit. • Only Correct DC op point guaranteed
