Different from the common practice, we present an approach that solves a small system for capacitance using the direct solver. Our study is based on the sparse formulation proposed in. With proper ordering of the rows and columns, the sparse system can be approximated by its inexact factorization. Furthermore, with the proper ordering, the part of the solution vector, which contributes to capacitance, can be solved using the sub-matrix of the inexact factors. The dimension of the sub-matrix is O(m), where m is the number of conductors. To our knowledge, this is the first BEM style method to solve capacitance extraction problem without using iterative solver. Experimental results show that the new algorithm is up to 100 times faster than FastCap and is also much faster than the method in (we call it PHiCap). The error of the new method with respect to FastCap is within 2%.","PeriodicalId":143349,"journal":{"name":"Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging - 2004","volume":"158 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116062030","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}

This methodology provides a fast and accurate global I/O SSO analysis that can be applied during the design phase to identify I/O SSO effects and their impact on the core. The supply noise predicted by the I/O SSO analysis was correlated with full-chip results of a true dynamic AC noise analysis flow and verified with measurements on silicon.","PeriodicalId":143349,"journal":{"name":"Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging - 2004","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128884498","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}
