| 2025 | LiTformer: Efficient Signal Integrity Analysis for High-Speed Link Transmitters Using Non-Autoregressive TransformerabstractHigh-speed serial links are essential for low-latency, high-bandwidth communication in data-intensive systems. Signal integrity (SI) of transmitters (TXs) directly impacts transmission quality of the links, while TXs' delay also introduces timing mismatches that degrade link integrity. In this paper, we propose LiTformer, a Transformer-based model for efficient SI analysis of high-speed link TXs, featuring a non-sequential encoder and a multi-head Transformer decoder to incorporate link parameters and capture long-range dependencies. By adopting a nonautoregressive approach, it enables parallel sequence prediction. We also introduce an ANN-based delay model for fast TX delay estimation. Considering link factors including crosstalk in multiple-link systems, LiTformer enables accurate and fast long-sequence signal prediction at high data rates, achieving efficient SI analysis for TXs. Experimental results show LiTformer achieves 437-996 × speedup in eye diagram prediction over SPICE, with mean errors of 0.15-1.57%. It supports 4-bit signals at Gbps data rates for single-ended and differential TXs, including NRZ and PAM4 formats. The delay model predicts TX delay achieving a speedup of four orders of magnitude with errors of 0.86-2.69%. Songyu Sun, Yanliang Sha, Qi Sun 0002, Quan Chen 0007, Zhou Jin 0001, Cheng Zhuo |

| 2024 | LiTformer: Efficient Modeling and Analysis of High-Speed Link Transmitters Using Non-Autoregressive TransformerabstractHigh-speed serial links are fundamental to energy-efficient and high-performance computing systems such as artificial intelligence, 5G mobile and automotive, enabling low-latency and high-bandwidth communication. Transmitters (TXs) within these links are key to signal quality, while their modeling presents challenges due to nonlinear behavior and dynamic interactions with links. In this paper, we propose LiTformer: a Transformer-based model for high-speed link TXs, with a non-sequential encoder and a Transformer decoder to incorporate link parameters and capture long-range dependencies of output signals. We employ a non-autoregressive mechanism in model training and inference for parallel prediction of the signal sequence. LiTformer achieves precise TX modeling considering link impacts including crosstalk from multiple links, and provides fast prediction for various long-sequence signals with high data rates. Experimental results show that LiTformer achieves 148--456× speedup for 2-link TXs and 404--944× speedup for 16-link with mean relative errors of 0.68--1.25%, supporting 4-bit signals at Gbps data rates of single-ended and differential TXs, as well as PAM4 TXs.
