Segmentation Method for Modeling Heterogeneous Components to Suppress Broadband Simultaneous Switching Noise on a Multilayer Structure

Due to the rapid development of semiconductor manufacturing processes and 5G mobile system design, the need for high-speed digital electronic circuit miniaturization, high operating frequency, and high-speed transmission of data continues to increase. Electronic components are becoming smaller with faster operating speed. Fabricating a complete electronic circuit system with components from different manufacturers is likely to lead to unpredictable electromagnetic interference, signal integrity, power integrity, and other issues. Therefore, electromagnetic compatibility has become a key topic in the design of electronic circuits. We present a modeling approach that can be used to build the stopband and passband in a
$Z$
-shape and the electromagnetic band gap (EBG) individually. In the model, the printed circuit board (PCB) is divided into five segments of different sizes, each of which has separate rectangular power and ground planes. Through the mushroom-type EBG, these structures are connected as part of a vertical blind hole; that is, the
$Z$
-shaped power bus comprises a rectangular resonant cavity and transmission line. The proposed modeling method is proven to have accurate simulation, and it can be applied to complicated broadband structure for integrating the whole derivation process into computer programs. The proposed titanic broadband suppression structure can better suppress simultaneous switching noise (SSN) coupling (
$\le -30$
dB) within the range of 5 MHz–40 GHz.
