The signal integrity of VLSI circuits is an emerging concern in high performance integrated circuits. A previous RLC crosstalk noise expression we have submitted, based on a RLC transmission line model associated with each propagation mode, could predict the noise amplitude of an RLC interconnect, yet only by making the assumption of a perfect symmetry between the two coupled lines and their respective attacks and loads. To be able to use this expression in VLSI circuits, where active and victim lines are attacked by buffers with different equivalent output resistances, this paper proposes to determine a corrective term depending on the line electrical parameters and on a dissymmetry factor between the equivalent resistances attacking the coupled lines.

The paper deals with methodology to analyze electromagnetic (EM) leakages from connectors shielding due to the presence of apertures and slots. Some experimental and numerical results will be proposed to evaluate the electromagnetic coupling between connector apertures and a PCB trace line in terms of current and voltage induced on the line.

The PoP (Package on Package) design procedure is described in this paper, focusing principally on the constraints and the system characteristics. The PoP structure is more and more diffused because it increases the customer flexibility and the final yield by means of a separate testing of Top and Bottom devices. In this paper, a Top PoP design, composed by two stacked memory dice (a NOR Flash and a SDRAM), is described pointing out the electrical package impact. The memory PoP has to be accessed up to 250 Mb/s. Such a frequency involves the package to be designed basing on some rules and evaluating its electrical impact by means of a signal integrity flow.

Silicon technology on-chip single and coupled coplanar transmission lines have been measured on wafer up to 50 GHz. De-embedding was performed using various methods including the L-2L technique [1,2] by measuring two transmission lines of original and double length. A novel approach has been used for the measurement of the coupled structures using conventional two port VNA. Results are investigated both in S-parameter format and in gamma-Zo format, and compared with EM solver and the parametric IBM coplanar T-line device models discussed elsewhere [3,4] which are available in IBM CMOS and SiGe technology design kits. A comparison with RC model shows the limits of RC model validity, in frequency domain.

Voids on reference planes are commonly seen in organic chip packages and printed circuit boards. In this paper, the effects of these voids on the signal integrity of a high-density data bus will be studied. A generic FCPBGA chip package is used to illustrate the signal integrity concerns and perform sensitivity analysis on the key mechanisms including void size, adjacent plane interactions, and adjacent signal line interactions. The results show that proper design can mitigate the signal integrity impact of reference plane voids.

This paper presents an outline of a new integration method and describes the results of its application in simulating electric circuits in the time-domain. The proposed method does not suffer from the stability vs. order limitation of classical linear multistep methods. Hence, it enables using arbitrarily high- order approximations to the circuit waveforms while maintaining the stability over the entire left side of the complex-plane (A-stability).
