The analysis of effects induced by interconnects become increasingly important as the scale of process technologies steadily shrinks. While most analyses focus on the timing aspects of interconnects, power consumption is also important. We study the trends of interconnect power consumption based on current and future technology node parameters. We also study the analysis method based on a reduced-order model. The relation between power consumption and the poles and residues of a transfer function is derived. The theoretical results can be used for any kind of linear circuits including RLC circuits.
