What is Enough? VDDQ Package Power Integrity Analysis With a DDR4 PHY

As voltage margins for power rails continue to decrease, end-to-end power integrity modeling is already difficult without having to be concerned if all of your simulation models are correct. System designers typically assume that all of the vendor models are correct. So, what does an engineer do if one of the ASIC die models needed for a power integrity simulation is incorrect?

VRM Modeling and Stability Analysis for the Power Integrity Engineer

DesignCon 2023 Paper

This paper addresses the challenge of how to simulate the power integrity ecosystem and include the feedback loop and switching noise of a switch mode power supply (SMPS) without waiting days for the simulation results. The solution presented here uses control loop theory state space equations to create a behavioral model of an SMPS that allows for fast simulation.
