Hello all, For obtaining a time domain response at IC bumps, V(t), given the current stimulus I(t) which is already assured to be steady state itself in a single record, not a repeated concatenation (and is dc suppressed) .... 1. Convert stimulus I(t) to the freq. domain with FFT, using sufficient points. Make sure, with Hilbert's help, it's causal. 2. V(f) = Z(f) x I(f). Z(f) is already on hand from pkg, pcb model extraction. 3. Then V(t) = IFFT{V(f)}. Look, ma ! No time domain simulation required. Please, somebody explain why I never see this in the literature and major simulator vendors just want to change the subject (for the most part). Is this a conspiracy? :-) Thanks, John ---------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List forum is accessible at: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
