All, I hope the following example will explain why Power Distribution Models need to be handled as a Model Connection Wrapper around the power subckts. P are Power Silicon Bump Pads P are Power Pins and Pads B are Buffer Silicon Bump Pads, and IBIS Pins IBIS file has 6 Power Pins, 8 Buffer Pins Silicon has 24 Power Bump Pads and 8 Buffer Bump Pads The Package Pins: P B B P B B P P B B P B B P The Silicon Bump Pads PPPP B B PPPP B B PPPP PPPP B B PPPP B B PPPP PPPP B B PPPP B B PPPP PPPP B B PPPP B B PPPP PPPP B B PPPP B B PPPP PPPP B B PPPP B B PPPP For the following Case PPPP B B PPPP B B PPPP PPPP B B PPPP B B PPPP Package Power Distribution Circuit could have: 1 Power Pin Node, and 1 Power Pad Node 6 Power Pin Nodes, and 24 Power Pad Nodes 2 Power Pin Nodes, and 6 Power Pad Nodes Or any combination of 1-6 Power Pin Nodes and 1-24 Power Pad Node On die power distribution can have 1 Power Pad Node, and 1 Power Buffer Node 24 Power Pad Nodes, and 8 Power Buffer Nodes Or any combination of 1-24 Power Pad Nodes and 1-8 Power Buffer Nodes Power Distribution can be done for slices: PPPP B B PPPP B B PPPP PPPP B B PPPP B B PPPP PPPP B B PPPP B B PPPP PPPP B B PPPP B B PPPP Walter Katz <mailto:wkatz@xxxxxxxxxx> wkatz@xxxxxxxxxx Phone 303.449-2308 Mobile 303.335-6156
