With the proposed technique it is possible to calculate the response bounds related to the uncertainty of the circuit parameters. In general such problems are solved by using a Monte Carlo procedure, which is characterized by high CPU time consumption; on the other hand the proposed method allows a fast and accurate calculation. The importance of the method arises from the fact that lumped parameters equivalent circuits are needed for the fast simulation of interconnects. They are usually obtained by mathematical procedures based on the analysis of simulation results or experimental data that are inherently affected by measurements or simulation errors; nevertheless this effect is rarely considered. The obtained bounds are compared with the results obtained by a Monte Carlo method.","PeriodicalId":182291,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 9th IEEE Workshop on Signal Propagation on Interconnects, 2005.","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128794885","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}

By introducing an effective surface current and a surface impedance, the losses on the interconnects can be easily included in UA-FWLIS by adding an extra term to the reaction elements. Thus, the approach for analytically calculating the integrals in the reaction matrix, which uses readily computable ILHIs and residue theory, is still valid and the efficiency of UA-FWLIS can be retained. Comparing the S-parameter results from UA-FWLIS with those from Agilent Momentum validates the accuracy of the enhanced UA-FWLIS.","PeriodicalId":182291,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 9th IEEE Workshop on Signal Propagation on Interconnects, 2005.","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124999530","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 power supply noise is damped with additional resistors in the impedance path between the package and the on-chip power distribution. Therefore, this path is split into several paths with different resistors. A distributed 2D signal line on-chip model in a simulated annealing schedule is utilized to find the appropriate resistors. The amount of noise reduction and the necessary voltage offset to overcome the additional IR drop has been investigated in several simulations. Further, the influence of splitting the power supply path only into very few different paths has been investigated.","PeriodicalId":182291,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 9th IEEE Workshop on Signal Propagation on Interconnects, 2005.","volume":"317 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113996006","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 broadband model is developed based on a one-dimensional transmission line matrix (1D TLM) algorithm linked with frequency domain traveling wave modes (TWM) method. The frequency domain parameters derived from the TWM method with frequency-dependent radiation behavior are transformed into time domain via a Pade approximation. The results from this model are compared to those obtained by a 3D TLM full-field solver. The methodology used in this paper allows us to study broadband performance of signals propagating on bent lines without complex full wave algorithms.","PeriodicalId":182291,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 9th IEEE Workshop on Signal Propagation on Interconnects, 2005.","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129879372","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}
