PAPER_Track07_TheImpactOfReturnLoss_Chen.pdf

In this paper the impacts of Return Loss on the performance of ENRZ signaling is investigated, and compared to NRZ signaling. The effective methods of analyzing the influence return loss with different characteristics is explored. Two relatively new metrics IMR and IRL are introduced and applied. Their respective effectiveness is analyzed and compared. At the end, a set of practical tips for quickly assessing a highspeed channel’s performance, as well as design tips regarding the return loss of ENRZ channel, are presented.

PAPER_Track08_PowerCouplingExtractionMethodComparison_Chen.pdf

As the density of package has grown drastically in the past decade, the cross-power-rail coupling effect becomes more and more aggravated and is no longer easy to evade. To handle this increasingly threatening problem, accurate modeling of the cross coupling, plus correct simulation methodology, is indispensable for obtaining trustable simulation result. This paper presents a full scale comparison on the models extracted using Hybrid solver and 3D solver with the focus on the coupling effect modeling. The concept of cross-rail transfer function is introduced first. Then the comparison on the Hybrid and 3D models of a 20Gbps package are presented. The coupling effects in frequency domain and time domain are plotted and analyzed. At the end, a set of designing guidelines are summarized.
