Abstract :
In this study, the power/ground noise excited by multilayer differential vias is quantified by employing analytical cavity method and 3-D full wave simulations. The evolution pattern of the noise on the reference voltage plane is predicted by these two methods. Prediction of power/ground noise map can be employed in component placement and pin assignment in area array integrated circuits.
