Abstract

This paper presents a method for analyzing multilayered power distribution networks in the frequency domain. Using a two dimensional array of distributed RLCG circuits, multi-layered power distribution planes are represented. Each plane pair is connected by vias, which are modeled as partial self and mutual inductors. For the efficient computation of the power distribution impedances at specific points in the network, a multiinput and multi-output transmission matrix method has been used, which is much faster than Spice and reduces memory requirements. This method has been compared with the cavity resonator method simulated in Spice.
