Such method can release the high requirement of small parasitic capacitance of ESD devices. Only two open stubs are required for each trace and the lengths are usually similar to the ESD protection device footprint size. Therefore, this method is cost-effective in real application. To validate the effect of this method, experiments are implemented on a commercial ESD product using for conventional USB 3.0 channel (5Gbps), and the improvement is significant. The results show the eye height is improved by 68 % and the jitter is improved by 44 % for 15Gbps eye diagram test. Therefore, this method has the potential to extend the usable frequency band for ESD protection devices.","PeriodicalId":397179,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 26th Conference on Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging and Systems (EPEPS)","volume":"33 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":"122790627","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}

By removing these statistically insignificant dimensions, a highly compact PC representation of the response can be developed to capture the mixed epistemic-aleatory effects.","PeriodicalId":397179,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 26th Conference on Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging and Systems (EPEPS)","volume":"30 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":"120954433","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 methodology ensures a feasible impedance matching network and optimal RF channel performance by accounting for the parasitics of discrete SMT components as well as for those of the PCB. Such parasitics need to be included in the full channel simulation because they detune the impedance matching network and can affect the insertion and return loss dramatically. After the entire RF channel is accurately modeled and impedance matched, a bill of material (BOM) file is automatically generated to drive assembly of PCBs based on an integrated EM-schematic co-simulation. An RF channel test bench was built and measured showing good correlation between simulation and measurement, thus validating the proposed methodology.","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":"125690950","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}
