Power delivery network designs are usually achieved by mounting the decoupling capacitors on power plates so that the designed power impedance is relatively lower on the interested frequency ranges. But, some parts out of frequency-dependant impedance profile of power delivery networks that make the major effect on noise performances of digital, RF, and analog chips does not be very clear according to chip's family. In this paper, we demonstrate the analysis of power delivery networks for the multiple voltage domains on an analog PLL jitter performance. We look for self impedances of chip mounted on board according to decoupling capacitor's size, their positions, and DC-DC chip. We analyze the PLL's jitter characteristics depending on self-impedance profiles for core and IO circuit. Through this work, it is clear that the PDNs design concept which is considering inherent operation characteristics should be adapted for the efficient and costive system.","PeriodicalId":142239,"journal":{"name":"2008 12th IEEE Workshop on Signal Propagation on Interconnects","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115036044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper we propose a new approach to investigate crosstalk reduction techniques using Silicon On Insulator (SOI) substrate. Coupling through common silicon substrate has become an important limiting factor in high performance ICs. A study of the advantages of using SOI substrate in contrast to bulk is presented in this paper. Through MATLAB software, a system of three coupled wires is modeled as RC distributed networks. A resistive model is used to model both SOI and bulk substrates. The results are compared to the bulk in order to show the advantages of using SOI substrate to reduce crosstalk noise in deep sub micron technology.","PeriodicalId":142239,"journal":{"name":"2008 12th IEEE Workshop on Signal Propagation on Interconnects","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125900574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In both cases, a two-step extraction procedure is employed to obtain the broadband complex permittivity for the inhomogeneous structures and correlation with TDT measurements is used to validate the technique.

At first, we recall the concept of RF interconnects to further illustrate it in the case of 4-bit transmission. Then, we calculate the transfer function of a complete RF interconnect to identify the parameters to be optimized, in order to increase the gain and obtain relative plane curves over a wide frequency band.

Our signal integrity points out that two neighbour lines on both sides of an active interconnect (i.e. the aggressor) are a good compromise to understand more complicated situation on greatest number of unintentionally coupled interconnects.
