Abstract

This paper discusses a methodology to model I/O simultaneous switching noise (SSN) on power distribution of a computer system. The methodology combines two numerically efficient modeling techniques - for modeling plane resonances and non-linear drivers to solve large size problems. Simulation results using the method were compared with SSN measured on a realistic system to show the validity of the method.
