Dear all SI gurus, one question regarding Power plane resonance. Currently, I use SpeedXP from Sigrity for simulating power plane resonance. The set up is that TOP layer : VCCP ----- on top layer, 2nd layer : GND, VCC3_3 -- partially overlap both plane on the second layer 3rd layer : GND .... BOT layer: VCCP -- on bottom layer I inject a current pulse into VCCP at a node on the top layer. With Fourier transfer for voltage and current, and got a plot of plane impedance. My VNA measurement shows a resonance at 50 Mhz, but the simulation show 100Mhz. I think the mismatch may be among , VCCP,VCC3_3, and GND plane . Shall I let VCC3_3 plane float or tie it to somewhere? I know Cadence's PI tool need to specified each overlapping plane pairs with correct voltage difference for multi-plane issues. I don't know how to take care current injection issues on Sigrity SpeedXP for multi-planes. Does somebody please kindly shed some light on it.
