The transient response of typical on-chip linear VRM circuit is analyzed in power gating condition. When the on-chip linear VRM circuit is inserted between on-chip PDN and operating high-speed output buffers, the on-chip PDN noise and jitter at output buffer are significantly reduced. The larger on-chip decoupling capacitor leads to the lower PDN noise generated by on-chip linear VRM circuit. The on-chip linear VRM also reduces the impact of the aggressor buffer to the victim buffer in different PDN, resulting in the improved performance of the victim buffer. Reduction of PDN noise and jitter at output buffer using on-chip linear VRM are validated based on SPICE simulation with 110 nm CMOS technology library.","PeriodicalId":329933,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility and Signal Integrity","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131007191","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}

Near-field scanning provides an insight into the physical behavior of circuits and thus allows understanding the problems. Therefore, near-field scanning enables a well-directed optimization regarding EMC in electronic systems. However, it is a thorough task to gain valuable information from the measured probe signals. One of this valuable information is the distribution of currents in printed circuit boards. In context of EMC, even small current amplitudes are critical. So, the sensitivity of the probe is decisive and due to that there is a lower limit for the probe size. However, the fields across bigger probes are not homogenous and probe compensation is necessary. Additionally, it is advantageous to gain more information by the use of probes with multiple outputs. The usual way to reconstruct the current distribution is a two-step approach with the determination of the electromagnetic fields in an intermediate step. Here, a method for directly mapping dipole sources is analyzed in the context of probes with multiple outputs and simple microstrip devices under test. Parameter studies regarding the number and positions of the dipoles are carried out. Furthermore, the technique requires some a priori information. We propose using a discrete form of the continuity equation as a constraint. By this constraint a significant improvement is achieved.","PeriodicalId":329933,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility and Signal Integrity","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132850672","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 antenna has better radiation performance in the vertical polarization with a low profile, and the average gain of this antenna is good as well.

In previous publications we've outlined these challenges via the use of experiments involving cable communications equipment and its susceptibility (or lack thereof) to radiated LTE signals.

Among them, serializer/deserializer (SerDes) package pin-out and its corresponding printed circuit board (PCB) via crosstalk have become a significant source of high jitter and limit the performance of high speed serial links. In this paper, a variety of far-end crosstalk (FEXT) and near-end crosstalk (NEXT) SerDes pin-out patterns are designed and investigated to explore the crosstalk performance for interfaces running 25Gb/s and beyond. The impact of PCB routing layer selection and via stub are also considered. Both frequency domain and time domain analysis are studied based on 3-dimensional (3D) full wave electromagnetic (EM) simulation, and the results are compared along with the calculated integrated crosstalk noise (ICN) to find the pattern with better signal isolation. A PCB test vehicle is designed and manufactured to provide measurement and verification results by using broadband micro-probes and multi-port vector network analyzer (VNA). The optimized pin-out is then selected to evaluate the overall link performance based on the input/output buffer information specification algorithmic modeling interface (IBIS-AMI) model from silicon vendors.","PeriodicalId":329933,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility and Signal Integrity","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130679889","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}
