Selection of decoupling capacitors (decaps) is important for power distribution network (PDN) design in terms of lowering impedance and saving cost. Good PDN designs typically mean satisfying a target impedance with as less decaps as possible. In this paper, an inductance-based method is utilized to calculate the port priority fist, and afterwards deep reinforcement learning (DRL) with deep neural...Show More
Port-connected models are widely used in many applications such as printed circuit board models. Much compute time can be saved by using only ports to connect the printed circuit board layers. The accuracy of port connected models is investigated in this paper for the relevant frequency range for PDN applictions. In this short paper, we use a specific three layer structure to study the coupling am...Show More
Dog-bone structure has been widely used in package PDN, yet it has not been thoroughly investigated. In this paper, the associated inductance for the dog-bone structure is studied with the partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) method and CST. PEEC method is based on the electrical field integral equation (EFIE) and it serves as a bridge between electromagnetic problems and circuit ones. In thi...Show More
Cavity model is one of the key computational models for power distribution network simulation. However, the conventional cavity model assumes uniform current distribution along the via and its accuracy is limited to the coupling of close-placed vias. This paper presents an improved cavity model based with gradient current distribution assumption. The loop inductance and surface current distributio...Show More
A transient simulation analysis is proposed for printed circuit board (PCB) power distribution network (PDN) by using physics based circuit model. The PCB PDN is divided into different blocks. Different modeling methods are used to provide physics-based circuit models for each block. Then, Hspice simulation is used to do transient simulation for the PCB PDN based on the circuit.Show More
Surface current distribution provides an intuitive perspective on how the current flows, which is critical for high speed design. The surface current distribution for the power distribution network (PDN) in printed circuit board (PCB) is related to the input impedance observed by the IC looking into the PCB PDN. Two different principle methods are used to describe the current distribution, namely ...Show More
Printed circuit board (PCB) power distribution network (PDN) design performance depends on the peak voltage ripple caused by the integrated circuit (IC) switching currents. The input impedance seen by the IC looking into the PCB PDN can be calculated using a physics-based circuit model extracted from the cavity model approach. The input impedance is fitted to a simplified circuit model used to rep...Show More
