A related question:
Besides utilizing either lumped or distributed  RLC or transmission line 
realizations of a package model to do SSN simulations, I wonder what the 
thoughts and experiences of those on the list have been regarding the 
use of s-parameter defined n-port models to do these simulations? 
Depending on the simulator you utilize these models have the potential 
to accurately predict SSN performance. Is anyone successfuly using these 
models in their simulations?
