Popis: We present an improved plane-pair partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) model for power distribution network modeling based on the PEEC formulation. The model can include via connections, decoupling capacitor macro-models, and discontinuities such as holes in the plane-pairs. An efficient approximate inductance sub-meshing model is described for large printed circuit plane-pairs with complex geometries and numerous vias. The modified nodal analysis (MNA) used leads to a flexible circuit solution where we can compute inductances, resistances, impedances, or other circuit models, including dc solutions. The MNA equations include effective optimizations such as the placement of capacitors. Today, a large class of methods are available based on numerous formulations including finite-difference time-domain, finite-element method, integral equation model, and cavity models. Each of the approaches has its own type of problems for which it is most suitable.
