A 2-layered power plane modelling methodology based on transmission lines (TL) is used to model a commercial microprocessor package up to 10 GHz. Subsequently, a 3-layered power plane model is proposed. This model was further modified to model 3-layered power distribution planes with vias. Comparisons with the measurements showed that the modified model was able to offer accurate simulation results up to 10 GHz.

This paper describes the fundamental characteristics of parallel-plate resonances which are induced by the via penetrating a parallel-plate in a multilayer printed circuit board (PCB). From the results of experiments and simulations, the origin of the strong resonance peak in the |S/sub 21/| characteristic is discussed. It is shown that the strong resonance peak may result from the correspondence between the parallel resonance frequencies in the input impedance of the parallel-plate and in that of the signal trace with the exception of the via.

This paper shows a generalized optimizer that interacts with an external circuit simulator to extract frequency-dependent lossy coupled transmission line models from TDR or VNA measurements. The optimizer's architectural flow, and such concepts as global and local iterations, weighting function, time-windowing and piecewise-linear source models are mentioned. Several examples, including a complex BGA package model, are used to demonstrate its effectiveness in extracting model parameters and correlating waveforms.

A technique to calculate the relative on die power supply impedance of high power CMOS integrated circuits as a function of frequency is described. This approach uses the power supply current variation that is normally present in a microprocessor to stimulate the supply network, varying the clock rate of the processor in order to obtain multiple measurements. Using this technique the power supply impedance vs. frequency of a 0.18 /spl mu/m microprocessor was measured and compared to a simple lumped circuit model.

Accurate closed-form expressions for the frequency-dependent [R], [L], [G], [C] line parameters of coupled on-chip interconnects on lossy silicon substrate are presented. The closed-form expressions for the frequency-dependent series impedance parameters are obtained using a complex image method. The frequency-dependent shunt admittance parameters are expressed using high- and low-frequency asymptotic static solutions. The proposed closed-from expressions are shown to be in good agreement with both quasi-static and full-wave electromagnetic solutions.

This paper addresses some important issues related to reduced-order modeling of complex interconnects. Two different but complementary directions are investigated. On one hand, multiport interconnect structures with possibly complex geometry are analyzed by means of model order reduction from transient scattering responses. On the other hand, some recent advances on stable and robust treatment of transmission lines with arbitrary frequency-dependent parameters are illustrated. Both modeling strategies lead to the automatic generation of a SPICE-ready equivalent circuit for system-level simulation.

This paper introduces a new efficient numerical technique for the computation of fields in electronics packages with power and ground planes. This full wave approach can be conveniently integrated with circuit solvers. Skin-effect loss from metal planes and dielectric loss, together with the non-total reflections from outer edges of planes, can be easily incorporated. A special computation scheme was developed for handling vias between metal planes. Very good correlation has been achieved on printed-circuit test boards up to several GHz.
