[SI-LIST] Substrate board impedance added to driver impedance for total output impedance of driver

I?m have a chip that I?ve done some analysis on to get its driver
impedance.  However this chip is on a substrate board, and it?s drivers
run through traces to balls and to the board.  I have R, L, and C
numbers for the trace/bondwire combination as part of a package model
that was made by someone else.  The trace in question is ½ inch long and
the frequency of interest is 350Mhz.  I?ve made the assumption that I
can use vector addition to add the inductive and resistive contributions
together, but I don?t know what to do with the capacitive part.  I?m
also assuming that once I?ve vector added the inductive, resistive, and
capacitive parts together for a total Zpackage that I can then linearly
add Zpackage and the Zdriver from previous experiments.  Does that seem
right?  I?m just a little confused on the appropriate steps to take.  As
always I appreciate the time you all take to read and respond to my
questions.
 

Thanks,

 

Eric Steimle
