The paper applies the combined SI-PI co-simulation to on chip high speed interconnects. A complete model of chip and interposer PDN is developed and, together to a lumped model of the PCB and package PDN, it is employed to supply I/O drivers for HBM traces laid out on silicon interposer. A comprehensive analysis is carried out highlighting the impact of the decoupling capacitor placement and their corresponding parasitic inductance on the supply voltage ripple and on the output eye diagram at the signal receivers.

The paper presents the method of approximated S-Parameters calculation in application of Nonuniform Coupled Transmission Lines. In the work we present the network with two coupled tapered lines. The space dependence of RLC parameters of the lines are interpolated with analytical functions. The S parameters are calculated using the method of successive approximation. The output response to the trapezoidal input is presented and compared with the numerical solution of exact integral equations of the lines.

Simple yet accurate on-chip load model is demanded for off-chip power delivery network (PDN) design and verification. Conventionally, a current source that represents a short chip operation period is used for this purpose, but it cannot consider the interdependency between supply voltage, load current and clock latency. The ignorance of this interdependency could mislead off-chip PDN design causing over- and under-design. To address this issue, this paper proposes an on-chip load model with Verilog-A that can replay the load current and clock latency under dynamic supply noise. The model is expanded to support different chip operation modes, and it can be used as a sub-model to construct a large chip model. Experiment shows over 200X run-time improvement comparing with full SPICE netlist simulation. We also confirm that the current profile, power consumption, and clock latency are closely correlated.

The influence of the electromagnetic environment of the indoor power line grid (Houses' Power Grid) is increasingly important on the Power Line Communication transmission. The household equipment operating changes considerably the network impedance. Several procedures exist to evaluate the network impedance. Two impedance measurement techniques seem to be the most adequate and allow to characterize loads under their operating conditions. The first one uses current injection and reception probes and the second one uses capacitive coupling. With a proper pre-measurement calibration process, the proposed methods allow to measure the evolution of the impedance versus frequency of the active loads (TV screen, Fluorescent lamp…). This study deals with the analyses of these two methods in order to evaluate their advantages and disadvantages. The measurements are carried in narrowband and broadband in the frequency range of 10 kHz to 100 MHz.

In this article, different patterns for decoupling capacitor routed on a dedicated test vehicle are compared. The aim of this study is, on one hand to confirm design rules for enhanced decoupling on printed circuit board and on the other hand, to estimate the value of the mounted inductance introduced by each pattern. Each mounting pattern and the particular parameter which is studied for each case will be described and measurement methodology as mounted inductance calculation will be presented. Then, mounted inductance calculated from measurement and results given by simulation are compared in order to see the precision reached by recent hybrid EM solver dedicated to Printed Circuit Board for parasitic elements calculation. Finally design rules and trade off for better decoupling are given as a conclusion.

Operating a DDR4 memory channel at speeds of only 2666MT/s can be a challenge for multi-slot setups. So what will be required in the next-generation DDR5 memory busses to enable them to run at speeds of 3200MT/s and above? What are the implications for controllers, and how does one plan the supported topologies for a given controller?

The extended peak distortion analysis (ePDA) is proposed in this paper for the eye diagram estimation of high speed interconnects in PAM4. The method can construct the eye diagram much faster than by PRBS eye simulation. In addition, the genetic algorithm is established to find the optimal tap numbers and coefficients of the feed-forward equalizer (FFE) so as to minimize the inter-symbol interference (ISI) effectively and efficiently.

In this contribution, the resistance and inductance of 3-D interconnects are obtained through a full-wave approach. By solving a free space boundary integral equation (BIE) combined with a fully 3-D differential surface admittance operator in a circuit framework, an effective procedure to study finite conductivity interconnects is presented. The accuracy of the proposed method in characterizing 3-D interconnects is demonstrated through an on-board and an on-chip example.

This paper deals with the impact of the doped areas sizes on the performances of microwave switches. The RF switches are designed on a silicon substrate in microstrip technology and use semiconductors diodes (N+P junctions) as active elements to commute from the OFF-state to the ON-state. Therefore, the co-design of the microstrip transmission lines and the active elements gives a great design flexibility. The manufacturing process is based on classical steps used to fabricate semiconductor components and this allows to choose the size of the active elements (i.e. the size of the doped areas). Five demonstrators with as many different integrated diode sizes are presented and the size impact on their performances is discussed on the frequency band going from 0.1 GHz to 10 GHz. With a very low bias voltage, the insertion losses are lower than 2 dB and the isolation can be higher than 40 dB.

This short paper is an advanced proof-of-concept of an optically powered board designed for seabed monitoring operations. The application features a very particular case of interference between data signals and power supply. The paper mainly focuses on measurements based on a recent prototype that validate previous results mostly obtained by simulation.
