The method involves application of a de-convolution technique based on the layer-peeling algorithm to construct an equivalent circuit model using cascaded sections of transmission lines for half of the thru' structure from TDR (time-domain reflectometry) measurements. The non-ideal step input waveform of the TDR, obtained through measuring an open-circuited load, is used to correct for the errors inherent in the layer-peeling algorithm due to the assumed ideal step excitation. A comparison of the results of the proposed method is made with that of TRL and SOLT to validate the method. Also illustrated is the applicability of this technique to SMA (surface-mounted-adapter) based probing structures on printed circuit boards (PCBs), where the standard reference calibration structures are generally not available.","PeriodicalId":254477,"journal":{"name":"Electrical Performance of Electrical Packaging (IEEE Cat.

Contrary to the traditional approach, we will show that a small ESR is not optimal. We will present a novel approach of using an on-die resistor in series with the package capacitance to dampen the high frequency noise. We will show by validation on the 90nm technology that this technique is capable of reducing the noise by nearly 80% without adversely affecting the timings.","PeriodicalId":254477,"journal":{"name":"Electrical Performance of Electrical Packaging (IEEE Cat.

This leads to the need for careful optimization of the parameters of the channel and the components along the path of the signal and the need of special circuitry in transceivers to mitigate the effects of the band-limited channels. This paper characterizes various bandwidth limiting factors in a low-cost interconnect system and evaluates equalization techniques that are needed to overcome the limitations to improve the interconnect system performance at multi-gigabit data rates. The sensitivity of equalization taps to manufacturing variations in channel parameters is also studied. Finally, detailed analyses of low-cost and high-speed memory operating at 3.2 Gbps and logic-to-logic interconnect systems operating at 6.4 Gbps are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of equalization techniques.","PeriodicalId":254477,"journal":{"name":"Electrical Performance of Electrical Packaging (IEEE Cat.

Spline function with finite time difference modeling includes previous time instances to capture dynamic characteristics for accurate modeling of digital drivers.

Instead of the computationally intensive volumetric discretization model, which appears to be currently the most popular method of choice for handling the tall and narrow cross sections of the on-chip wiring and capturing correctly the impact of adjacent wiring coupling and skin effect, the proposed generalized partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) methodology utilizes a computationally more efficient conductor surface discretization. Key to the success of such a surface discretization model is the definition of a position- and frequency-dependent surface impedance used to relate the tangential electric field and current on the wire surface. A novel strategy for the identification of loops in the resulting discrete model leads to a numerically-stable and efficient mesh analysis-based PEEC formulation in support of on-chip interconnect electromagnetic modeling from DC to multi-GHz frequencies.","PeriodicalId":254477,"journal":{"name":"Electrical Performance of Electrical Packaging (IEEE Cat.
