Touchstone v2.0 SI/PI S-Parameter Models for Simultaneous Switching Noise

This presentation will discuss how large-port-count v2.0 SI/PI Touchstone files with per-port reference impedances are invaluable in the design of DDR4 SDRAM interfaces and will show attendees how to analyze the simultaneous switching noise characteristics of single ended memory interfaces.

Wednesday, January 29, 2014 at 2:00 pm - 2:40 pm, Ballroom E

Distributed Modeling and Characterization of On-Chip/System Level PDN and Jitter Impact

This presentation will provide attendees with a methodology flow that enables characterization of a system-level power delivery network (PDN). The methodology takes into consideration the combined effects of chip, package, and board-level components of a PDN and results in very accurate prediction of power supply noise and its impact on system timing.

Thursday, January 30, 2014 at 9:20 am - 10:00 am, Ballroom C/D

Method for Analytically Calculating BER (Bit Error Rate) in Presence of Non-Linearity

This presentation offers a method for modifying the probability distribution function (PDF) to account for non-linearity. Once the PDF is correctly modified, the tail probability methods to determine BER as in a linear system analysis can be applied. This technique allows designers to combine any linear system with a non-linear system and use analytical methods to determine BER.

Model Extraction and Circuit Simulation Approaches for Successful SSO Analysis of Chip-Package-Board Systems

This presentation will provide guidelines for extraction and transient circuit simulation to support SSO analysis for Chip-Package-Board systems; methods and options for extraction of the low frequency portion of broadband, high node-count S-parameter models for SSO analysis; and methods and options for transient circuit simulator application of high node-count S-parameter models for SSO analysis.

Thursday, January 30, 2014 at 11:05 am - 11:45 am, Ballroom C/D

High Speed Serial Link Simulation Based on Dynamic Modeling

This presentation will propose a new modeling architecture to resolve the problems faced with todays serial-link simulators, which can only perform static simulations based on the same set of interconnect s-parameter files and a given silicon PVT corner model. Todays approach does not reveal system performance in a changing environment. This new modeling architecture overcomes this limitation.
