Abstract :
IR drop, voltage droops and other transient behaviors of power delivery network are critical for CPU to achieve high performance, and have to be carefully designed and analyzed. This paper proposed a novel method utilizing microwave network analysis for such transient response. It results in transfer functions that are well-conditioned at low frequencies and are very suitable for reliable and stable DC and transient analysis. All frequency domain and time domain analysis can be performed without using circuit simulators. Examples are presented to demonstrate good correlations with other methodologies.
