Several efficient algorithms were recently suggested for macromodeling of such data to enable transient analysis in the presence of external circuit elements. One of the difficult issues involved here is the passivity violations associated with the computed macromodel. To address this issue, an efficient algorithm is presented in this paper to enforce passivity for macromodels with passivity violations.","PeriodicalId":254477,"journal":{"name":"Electrical Performance of Electrical Packaging (IEEE Cat.

The advantages of such packaging architecture are highlighted and the challenges for the system performance are identified. The physical and electrical attributes of the five types of Buses required to support processing operating frequency of 1.2 GHz in an SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processing) architecture with up to 64 PU (Processing Units) are tabulated. The evolution of the I/O circuits for each of these Buses is described along with the Bus cycle time and bandwidth trends.","PeriodicalId":254477,"journal":{"name":"Electrical Performance of Electrical Packaging (IEEE Cat.

Also, the 5/spl times/ additional increase in I/O bandwidth requires significant extra power, putting a premium on signaling techniques that combine high per pin frequencies with low power per Gbit/s: However, limiting frequency improvements - to only 20% per year makes the situation better compared to historical growth rates and especially limits hot spot power densities. Nevertheless, the challenge to improve power efficiency, power delivery, and heat removal remains significant. Though mostly intended as a challenge to the EPEP community; my talk will also cover some of the advances made on addressing the main challenges and discusses some approaches to system and package design that may-help meet the challenges that remain.","PeriodicalId":254477,"journal":{"name":"Electrical Performance of Electrical Packaging (IEEE Cat.

This simulator is based on the parallel-distributed finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, and works on a PC-cluster. The accuracy of analysis by BLESS is verified in comparison with s-parameter measurements. Using the simulator, the full-wave analysis of the multi-layer PWB in a commercial digital still camera is demonstrated. With the aid of what-if analysis results, PWB design can be verified and optimized with less number of trial productions.","PeriodicalId":254477,"journal":{"name":"Electrical Performance of Electrical Packaging (IEEE Cat.
