Abstract

"Switching currents on the Integrated Circuits (ICs) power distribution network (PDN) are very often the ultimate source of a system level electromagnetic interference issue. Modeling and measurement of this switching current are critical for minimizing those problems. The first paper presented the design, fabrication and characterization of a balanced shielded miniature thin-film...The second paper investigated the coupling from IC unbalanced switching current to the TEM cell...The third paper presented a full chip level IC PDN model to predict the switching current behavior at chip level"--Abstract, page iv.
