The PEEC method and solvers are continuously evolving as more new features are added to the approach. Finite dielectrics were added to solve a new class of multi dielectric problem. Dielectric losses are becoming more important with the recent increase in the frequencies in the problems which need solving. In this work, we provide an approach which is applied to the dielectric model to include losses. Recursive convolution and circuit synthesis techniques are employed to take into account the dispersive behavior of the dielectric. Presently, the algorithm has been applied to materials with a Lorentzian model for the complex permittivity. The accuracy of the proposed approach is demonstrated by an example.

The design of a robust microprocessor requires extensive logic validation. Millions of test vectors are applied and the output of every logic node is checked against the expected output. This is largely done with RTL simulators. Such simulators ignore the analog aspects of the circuits such as power supply noise and transmission line effects. Traditionally, the analog aspects are taken into account using SPICE-like simulators to model representative cases and design for what is perceived to be the worst-case input stimulus. Alternatively, in this paper, we will present a mixed signal validation approach that comprehends both the logic and analog aspects of the circuits. We show how we applied this to the Pentium 4 processor power-up sequence validation. We will also discuss extending this approach to other disciplines such as platform and packaging.

The Power Distribution System (PDS) for a JEDEC DDR2 Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) has been designed. The process involved establishing a target impedance in the frequency domain, determining the inductance of the connector and capacitor mounts and selecting a matrix of discrete ceramic capacitors from a menu of previously characterized devices to meet the target impedance. After hardware was available, S21 measurements were made with a 2 port VNA to establish model to hardware correlation.

In this paper, conduction mode basis functions, previously developed to improve the efficiency of volume integral equation-based electromagnetic analysis of interconnect, are adapted for use in a surface integral equation formulation. A partitioning scheme is introduced to eliminate low-frequency ill-conditioning. Results for a wire, ring and transmission line are used to show that combining partitioned conduction modes with a Galerkin discretization scheme improves the surface integral solver's wideband accuracy and efficiency.

Summary form only given. In this talk, we review fast integral equation solvers for low frequencies and high frequencies. We discuss some of the current problems and suggest possible solutions. We also describe the use of fast solvers for layered media. When applied to low frequencies, fast solvers usually have a low-frequency breakdown. Methods to overcome this low frequency breakdown are discussed. Moreover, a general method of moments encounters low frequency breakdown problems, and a remedy for this is also given. Many of the low frequency problems can be tackled by setting the frequency identically to zero, hence solving an electrostatic or a magnetostatic problem. Such a solution technique is also presented. For layered structures, we need a special Green's function. A closed form Green's function can be used to solve some of the complicated layered medium problems. Also, some applications of fast solvers to solve the lithography problem are demonstrated.

Integral equation methodologies applied to extract parasitics at the board, package, and on-chip levels involve solving a dense system of equations. In this paper, we present an improved oct-tree based multilevel QR compression technique for fast iterative solution. The regular tree and interaction structure of the fast multipole method, and the QR compression scheme applied to interaction sub-matrices as in IES/sup 3/ are combined to achieve superior time and memory efficiency. As is demonstrated by numerical simulation results presented herein, the new algorithm is found to be faster than both existing QR based methods and FastCap.
