IR-DROP Analysis and Thermal Assessment of Planar Electromagnetic Bandgap Structures for Power Integrity Applications

Abstract

This paper investigates the relationship among the high-frequency performances of a planar electromagnetic bandgap structure for power integrity applications and its static (dc) behavior. The IR-Drop and the thermal performances are accurately investigated through 3-D simulations. Measurements of the high-frequency electromagnetic properties and of the temperature variation are also performed for validating the models employed in the analysis.
