Abstract :
Modern high-speed microprocessors require low impedances connectors with their power supplies. This paper presents a method to calculate two-dimensional inductances, capacitances and resistances. The connector parameters are modeled under transient conditions and the effects of pin shape and pin location on connector parameters are analyzed. Good agreement was obtained between computed results and finite element software simulations. Guidelines are also presented for reducing the impedances.
