Hi Tim, I got some info regarding spreading inductance. Hope it helps. Plane spreading inductance: - L of PLANE_CAVITY =3D u0 / 2=F0 * H * (( ln( R2/R1 ) * KPERF ) + ln( R3/R2 )) - u0 =3D 31.9nH/square - H =3D cavity height - R3 =3D radius from die center to bypass cap ring - R2 =3D radius from die center to via field edge - R1 =3D radius from die center to pkg power / ground attachments. - KPERF scaling factor for perforation in via field * For perforations small compared to wavelength area ratio Thanks&Regards, Sirisha. Thanks&Regards, Sirisha. =20 -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] = On Behalf Of Nash, Tim J (EHCOE) Sent: Friday, September 15, 2006 7:56 PM To: silist Subject: [SI-LIST] Spreading Inductance From what I have gathered, spreading inductance of a plane is = dimensionless (i.e. nH/sq) and not a function of the distance between two points, = rather a function of aspect ratio of the plane - L x W. So, the size of the = plane isn't what affects spreading inductance, but its shape does. Are these = true statements? I want to make sure I understand this correctly.
