Equivalent Circuit Model for Power Bus Design in Multi-Layer PCBs with Via Arrays

Abstract

An equivalent circuit model for multilayer power planes with multiple via arrays is proposed. The complexity of the actual geometry is greatly reduced in the circuit model with the accuracy maintained. The model is corroborated by measurements.
