Abstract

This Case Study Addresses the Following:

  • Investigate the package of a high performance 64-bit processor chip with autonomous I/O’s for power/ground noise generation.
  • The methodology is HSPICE circuit simulation based. HSPICE is the simulator of choice for this analysis due to its flexibility and compatibility with transistor and IBIS I/O and core models descriptions.
  • The chip core characteristics and I/O HSPICE models and general system parameters were provided by the semiconductor client.
  • The high-end processor chip model included the chip core and autonomous I/O transceivers, drivers and receivers. Autonomous I/O’s included 264 bits of SSTL memory bus, 266 bits of 100 Mbps GTLP and 60 bits of 66 MHz PCI.

->This paper is available from NESA for $15.00 to cover management costs. We accept credit card payment for purchase of the papers. The requested paper will be emailed to you shortly after your order is received.
