IO PDN Sensitivity
• On-going CAEML project work– “Apply to HSSCDR (IBM)”
• Extend to non-linear single-ended drivers
8
LPDDR Simulation Efficiency
• Need hours not days
• Reduced memory requirements
• Full IP protection
• Voltage, Current, and Timing accurate– Delay & “overclocking”
10
Exploratory PMIC Models
• On-going CAEML project
• Fast simulation across SPICE platforms
• Capture non-linear effects in transient simulations
• Explore design space
• Full IP protection

“Local EMI” – Solution?
• Crossover to ongoing CAEML project
• What level of “component” model is sufficient?
• What “signal” is meaningful?
