Computationally Efficient Power Integrity Simulation for System-on-Package Applications

摘要

Power integrity simulation for system-on-package (SoP) based modules is a crucial bottleneck in the SoP design flow. In this paper, the multi-layer finite difference method (M-FDM) augmented with models for split planes has been proposed as a fast and accurate frequency domain engine. Results demonstrating the accuracy and scalability of the method have been presented. In particular, the algorithm was employed to the analysis of a realistic 6 layer package with 200k nodes.
