Abstract :
Transient currents created by on-chip switching in cores and by off-chip drivers cause noise to be generated on package parasitics. Simple mathematical models for the noise are used to derive figures-of-merit for the two cases of on-chip and off-chip switching. SIA Roadmap packaging trends are used with the figures-of-merit to produce package noise trends
