Assuming 50% duty cycle signal at the input to NAND driver is too optimistic. Both FMC and NAND contribute a portion of duty cycle distortion in the NAND read cycle. This paper identifies the gap in conventional SI simulation and describes how to reduce this gap in the simulation flow by including realistic RE DCD. Die level signals were measured for correlation purpose, and good correlation was observed between the measurements and simulations, demonstrating the importance of proposed changes.","PeriodicalId":397179,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 26th Conference on Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging and Systems (EPEPS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130829005","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}

As data rate increases and small form factor is highly demanded, adoption rate of USB Type-C connector has been substantially increasing. As compared to USB-A connector, USB-C connector has not been extensively investigated for RFI risk and coexistence impact of USB-C and WiFi radio. Therefore, radiated RFI noise and WiFi throughput of USB-C connector is characterized and compared to USB-A connector. The USB-C RFI risk assessment shows that 20dB RFI reduction realizes 180% throughput improvement as compared to one of the USB-A connector. The results demonstrate that RFI-shielded USB type-C connector has much less impact on wireless communication than USB-A, resulting in wireless performance improvement in mobile computer platforms.","PeriodicalId":397179,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 26th Conference on Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging and Systems (EPEPS)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114115844","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 designed FSS covers the top inside wall of the case box of a digital system and reduces the leaked radiations through the airflow slots. Resistive thin layers are used to create a low profile FSS with a 2-D array of square patches in two layers. An equivalent circuit is presented to provide closed-from relations for designing the FSS layout at the desired frequency. It is shown that the surface input impedance of FSS is matched to the intrinsic impedance of a plane wave in free space. Absorption versus incidence angle of incoming plane waves is evaluated through full-wave simulations showing a maximum value of 32dB. Simulations of radiated emissions from the enclosure box with and without absorbing FSS demonstrate 9dB improvement when the custom-designed FSS is used.","PeriodicalId":397179,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 26th Conference on Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging and Systems (EPEPS)","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127095476","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}
