Rich "ur = Relative Permeability or Dielectric Constant" Relative permeability is not equal Dielectric constant. You probably meant that Dielectric constant = Relative permitivity Regards Elie -----Original Message----- From: Rich Peyton [mailto:p2rich@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2001 10:55 AM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Re: Inductance of Via I'm not the original Rich -- But I have: u0 = Permeability of free space = 1.2566*10-6 H/m ur = Relative Permeability or Dielectric Constant Rich -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Yibing Tang Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2001 11:38 AM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Re: Inductance of Via Thanks to Richard for detail illustration.

Original References: Edward B. Rosa Published "The Self and Mutual Inductances of Linear Conductors" Bureau of Standards Bulletin 4, pp301 (1907); B. of S. Sci Paper 169, p151 formula (98) (1912) Frederick W. Grover republished The formulas in "Inductance Calculations" (1945) (pp31 formulas 1, 3, 6, etc.) Status of formulas in publications and on web: Transcription errors have entered into the original formulas in many publications and the errors have passed on to the next generation of publications. Twelve months ago I collected eight formulas off the web used for calculating via inductance . Each had slightly different formulas and all were incorrect. Some of the published equations are correct but missing the additional information regarding range of applicability. I have determined by careful measurements that the original formulas used by Rosa and Grover are indeed correct for pcb and package vias if properly used. The original partial inductance equations are: Mutual inductance = uo/2/pi*len * [ ln{ len/sep + sqrt(1.0 + len^2/sep^2) } - sqrt(1.0 + sep^2/len^2) + sep/len ] (len is segment length, ln is natural logarithm, sep is separation distance of current centroids.) The partial self inductance of a wire segment is obtained by reducing the separation in the mutual inductance formula to: sep = dia/2 and adding internal inductance. Lself = uo/2/pi*len * [ ln{ 2.0 * len/dia + sqrt(1.0 + 4.0*len^2/dia^2) } - sqrt(1.0 + 0.25 * dia^2/len^2) + 0.5 * dia/len + ur/4) ] (dia is diameter of wire segment and ur/4 is the internal inductance of the wire) Only when len >> dia or spa then the formula reduces to: Lself ~ uo/2/pi*len* [ln (4*len/dia) -3/4 ] at low frequencies including internal wire inductance Lself ~ uo/2/pi*len* [ln (4*len/dia) -1] at high frequencies (ur/4 --> 0 at skin limited high frequencies) uo/2/pi = 4*pi*1e-7( Henries/meter) /2/pi = 2.0e-7 henries/meter = 200 nH/meter = 2.0 nH/cm = 200 pH/mm = 0.2 pH/um = 5.08 nH/inch If the via len=dia/2 Using the simplified equation Lself = -1.56 nH/inch Rosa's original equation gives Lself = +0.47 nH/inch (a plausible value) Remember: Four partial segment self inductances are always placed in series with four mutual inductances between segments to obtain total loop inductance, which is the only physical and therefore measurable inductance. I hope that this will help clarify the negative inductance confusion when inductance formulas are applied to short length vias.
