Abstract :
Mixed signal SoC ICs are increasingly being used in commercial products. However, the analog circuits are sensitive to noise which is produced by the digital circuits and propagated by the substrate. In this paper, compact physical 2D and 3D models have been derived for the spreading resistance between multiple contacts within two different substrates. These models can be used to estimate substrate noise.
