Who Put That Inductor in My Capacitor?

This article covers the importance of proper calibration, measurement, and de-embedding to ensure that the final capacitor model is free of errors, allowing an accurate representation of the PDN used in simulation. While capacitor models may play a seemingly minor role in the overall system design, the impact of capacitor models can significantly impact the system design and, importantly, design sign-off.

Improved Methodology to Accurately Perform System Level Power Integrity Analysis Including an ASIC die

Modern ASIC-based systems can no longer be designed by rules of thumb when it comes to power integrity. In this DesignCon 2022 paper, Ben Dannan et al explain a workflow using lumped-looped models to improve efficiency, while achieving accuracy, and reducing the overall risk to a given system PDN.
