A powerful code developed by the authors to solve radiation and scattering problems from arbitrary 3D dielectric-conductor structures is modified to provide the terminal characteristics of arbitrary package structures. By incorporating a general de-embedding procedure to eliminate end effects, Y- and S-parameters can be obtained for 3D transmission-line structures; other parameters such as the C and L matrices can also be obtained. Results for microstrip twin-tee and mesh-plane structures are presented and compared with results already in the literature.<>

A new model for the simulation of power/ground plane noise which is simple in principle, accurate in its solutions, and applicable to various levels of high-speed digital electronics packaging, is given. It is found that one can obtain accurate modeling of delta-I noise in power and ground planes without resorting to full-wave electromagnetic modeling. Sample results of the simulated delta-I noise with the method are shown.<>

A methodology for obtaining a model of the power distribution of a computer package is presented. This model is suitable for determining the noise and aiding in the design of a computer package. The physical features of a typical first-level multi-layered computer package is shown. Semiconductor chips and decoupling capacitors are placed on the top surface of the package and the module is connected to a board or card for communication with other components of the computer. A schematic of the final inductance model of a multi-layered ceramic single chip module used in computer products is shown.<>

A quasi-static method is described for calculating the excess capacitance and inductance of via's. The considered via geometry contains connecting strips, pads on the via, and finite ground plane thickness. The influence of the pad size and the size of the ground plane opening on the via capacitance, inductance and impedance is examined.<>

A state-space algorithm for model-order reduction based on the balancing of a system realization is presented, with the important characteristic that the reduced order model is guaranteed to be stable. Results are presented demonstrating that the balanced-realization approach generates accurate, stable models, whereas the Pade method is unstable.<>

Summary form only given, as follows. High performance CMOS device technology for 5 V and 3.3 V operations is discussed. Off-chip package delays and simultaneous switching noise (SSN) are selected as metrics to evaluate the impact due to packaging. Devices are housed in quad flat packages (QFPs) and pin grid array (PGAs) packages. With 3.3 V supply, to have a computationally comparable system, device sizes need to be changed to obtain similar current drive. Devices are scaled to achieve similar and enhanced performance for reduced supply voltage. Maintaining computational throughput (CTP) introduces comparable noise levels for 5 V and 3.3 V operations. This increases the probability of false switching in 3.3 V operation. Noise levels for lesser, comparable, and faster CTP 3.3-V packaged devices are given. False switching for 3.3 V operation is analyzed using receiver dynamic noise immunity (DNI). Trends in overall noise-to-signal ratio for further reduced supply voltages are given.<>
