Abstract :
This paper proposes the unified design technique which combines electromagnetic field analysis [FDTD technique] with circuit simulator [HSPICE]. The proposed technique can analyze the integrated circuits [ICs] multi-chip-module [MCM], and printed circuit board [PCB] design in high-efficiency and high-accuracy including the rounding noise throughout the substrate. Furthermore, this technique can not only analyze the small signal operation but also large signal operation
