Hi, Zhengrong, Please refer to IEEE Design & Test of Computers, "Packaging a 40-Gbps = Serial Link Using a Wire-bonded Plastic Ball Grid Array", Authored by Dong Gun = Kam, Joungho Kim, Jiheon Yu, Ho CHoi, Kicheol Bae and Choonheung Lee, there = were few simulated differential S-parameters up to 25GHz with respect to different bonding pad/bonding wire loop configurations. From those = frequency domain results, one-pole low pass filter is justifiable to mimic the = bonding wire high frequency property. Even after including the routing traces = inside BGA package to bonding wires, the differential S-parameters still show similar trend. If you are really pushing frequency to higher and higher, = one section of RLGC module will break too, it really depends on frequency = and interconnects length inside package.

I mean that if the single section RLGC extracted at a certain frequency = =3D only represent the characteristic of s-param model at this frequency = point, =3D it can't be used to approximate the bandwidth of the model which we usually =3D use 'the single section RLGC 'to do. The two RLGC are not = the same thing. For example, if IBIS package model is extracted at 1GHz by default, can = =3D it be used to approximate the low frequency band which is within 1/10 wavelength?

The main difference between distributed element and lumped element is = =3D =3D3D the propagation/flying time, where there is no flying time for lumped = =3D3D element, while flying time is taken into consideration for distributed element. While for package model, under assumption the electrical length of interconnects inside package is less than one tenth of wavelength, we = =3D =3D3D can treat them as lumped element. R represents interconnects conductor = loss, =3D =3D3D L represents interconnects inductance, C represent the = interconnects capacitance, G is negligeable here. Hope it helps!

I wonder what on earth the meaning of the single frequency parameters = =3D =3D3D is. First, if the parameters only represent the magnitude and phase of the S-parameter model at the frequency point, it may have different =3D3D combinations of RLGC to reach the same goal, what's the method or = principle? Second, if the parameters are meaningful at a certain frequency, why can single RLGC parameters often be used to estimate characteristic of =3D3D package model such as IBIS? =3D3D20 In my opinion, for example, the single RLGC model should be the =3D3D first-order approximation to the real model for transmission line, as = Eric's book 'Signal Integrity: Simplified' said. It is equivalent to the real model within low frequency range and we can = =3D =3D3D use it if the signal frequency component is within the range. However, if the RLGC model extracted at a certain frequency is only meaningful for the extracting frequency, it isn't the first-order approximation for the transmission line. So we can't use it as the first-order approximation and estimate its low frequency characteristic.=3D3D20 Appreciate any idea and discussion for the problem.
