The paper presents a fast and effective method of modeling a nonuniform and dispersive interconnect by means of S-parameters. The paper presents an approach based on the method of successive approximations, but taking into account the dependence on the frequency of line parameters. The concept is to use a rational approximation of the per-unit-length parameter of the line calculated for each frequency. An example of the Bessel dispersive transmission line has been considered.

Power plane noise is a well-known source of signal integrity (SI) issues in a high speed digital design. This paper first reviews the basic principles which are at the root of the problem. We then illustrate how electronic design automation (EDA) tools can be used to analyze the phenomenon and provide guidance on how to mitigate the issue by adjusting the design.

Transition Minimized Display Signal (TMDS) structure transmits differential data signal and the common mode clock signal through a single pair of differential signal transmission line. In mobile systems, RF transmitter (Tx) is a source of electromagnetic interference (EMI) that can degrade the electromagnetic susceptibility(EMS) of TMDS. In this paper, we adopt commercial common-mode filter (CMF) and perform an optimization study to ensure EMS performance of both the common mode clock and differential signal. Through electromagnetic and circuit simulation, it is shown that CMF of 50 ohm showed improved signal integrity of common-mode clock while removing RF Tx noise while securing eye opening specification of the differential-mode signal.

The following paper presents the simulation methodology for optimizing the decoupling network of an integrated circuit like a processor or a Field Programmable Gate Array. The efficiency of simulation tools from commercial electronic computer aided design solution is demonstrated by correlating simulation results with measurement for S parameters analysis of bare PCB and the PCB associated with decoupling capacitors thanks to a dedicated test vehicle equipped with SMA connectors allowing S12 parameter measurement. An integrated module of the commercial solution calculating mounted inductance of capacitors is also presented as it is an essential element for decoupling optimization. Design flow is then given for optimizing the decoupling performance of a capacitor network in the case of reusing a electronic design. Surface occupied by decoupling components is firstly reduced and its efficiency increased by reducing mounted inductance. Performances of decoupling network are then analyzed in order to remove all unnecessary elements.

Silicon interposer technology with through-silicon-vias will play a significant role in the development of future 2.5D systems. Furthermore, such systems will have high density and real-time computing requirements, leading to smaller sizes and higher bit-rates. In this paper, through-silicon-via structures in normal resistivity silicon with 3 different return current configurations are modeled and measured. It is shown that reflections and attenuations in the transmission structure can be predicted and reduced with predictive modeling using full-wave simulation techniques. With a silicon conductivity of 25 S/m, the examined TSV structures enter the quasi-TEM mode between 10GHz and 20GHz with a transmission coefficient of ca. -3dB. The transmission coefficient decreases between -5dB and -7dB, depending on the design of the structure. Reflection coefficients for all three structures reaches a maximum of -11dB as the structure enters the quasi-TEM mode.
