Accurate modelling of power distribution network (PDN) design in high-speed systems is a critical challenge. The equivalent electrical circuit of decoupling capacitor (decaps) becomes ambiguous due to temperature, bias voltage and aging dependency. This paper presents a workflow to model the decaps by considering of the temperature and bias voltage as the uncertainty parameters for predicting the ...Show More
Shielded wires are widely used in electric and hybrid electric vehicles. Estimation of the radiated emissions from these cables require an appropriate description of the transfer impedance. The Kley Model describes this transfer impedance analytically as a function of geometrical parameters of the shield. The shield parameters are too intricate to be characterized and specified in datasheets, henc...Show More
