Accurate models for these components should maintain their physical properties including causality, stability, and passivity. Our recent work introduced algorithms based on sum-of-squares (SOS) polynomials to address the problem of generating passive scalar models, such as driving point impedances or admittances, based on an existing causal, stable, but non-passive model. We used a scaled Chebyshev basis to avoid the poor conditioning of the monomial basis in SOS constraints. However, the division by the denominator still impacts the numerical accuracy. In this paper, we improve the conditioning of the problem by embedding the denominator polynomial in the basis, resulting in orthogonalized rational functions through Arnoldi iteration.","PeriodicalId":285253,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 26th Workshop on Signal and Power Integrity (SPI)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114256944","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}

The trained artificial neural networks (ANNs) are applied to answer relevant PDN design questions such as PCB resonance frequency and target impedance (TI) violations. Based on PCB geometry and material variations a PDN design space is defined. To train the ANNs, inside the design space a sparse sampling with 10000 physics-based (PB) simulations is performed. The S-parameter database is created using physics based via models which are validated by a commercial full-wave finite element method (FEM) solver in the frequency spectrum of 1MHz to 1GHz. The S-parameters are available in the SI/PI-Database. The flexibility of the unterminated S-parameters is demonstrated by a post processing termination using decoupling capacitor (decap) distributions. Limitations of the data generation are discussed with respect to computational resources and disk space.","PeriodicalId":285253,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 26th Workshop on Signal and Power Integrity (SPI)","volume":" 45","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114051706","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}

The shape of the structure and the material properties of near-zero permeability MM(s) are used to attain this enhancement. The improvement in the magnetic shielding is demonstrated by theoretical studies involving magnetic flux models and 3D full-wave electromagnetic simulations. The operating frequency for this study is chosen to be 13.56 MHz in the ISM band, and the relative permeability of the mu-near-zero MM is considered to have a real component of 0.02 and a loss tangent of 0.01. The MM hourglass lens is constructed using a staircase approximation of planar MM slabs. The mutual inductance of a two-coil system with coils of 5 cm radius at different separation distances and with the MM lens or slab is used to compare the shielding efficiency between the MM structures. The proposed lens design constructed using 15 slabs provides about 12% reduction in mutual inductance at a thickness of 30 mm and about 45% reduction at a thickness of 70 mm when compared to the MM slab for a coil separation distance of 25 cm.","PeriodicalId":285253,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 26th Workshop on Signal and Power Integrity (SPI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130516528","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}

The budgeting among the channel insertion and return losses, number of crosstalk aggressor channels, quality of Tx and Rx ships in terms of noise and advanced equalization schemes will be analyzed.

Therefore, it is pertinent to identify and mitigate potential board-level power integrity (PI) issues before fabrication to prevent iterative hardware prototyping and testing after fabrication. In this work, post-layout PI analysis and optimization flow is presented for a complex high-speed FPGA based data processing board. The analysis is performed in the frequency domain (FD) using the industry's proven electromagnetic (EM) solver tools, while FD data is imported back in the time domain (TD) to assess and improve the transient response of signal switching noise (SSN).","PeriodicalId":285253,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 26th Workshop on Signal and Power Integrity (SPI)","volume":"161 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130490413","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}
