In your step 3, what value of DC resistance are you placing from the input of the PDN to GND? And why? You DC resistance may be swamping the PDN impedance. What doesn't seem to make sense? -Ray Anderson Xilinx Inc. > -----Original Message----- > From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] > On Behalf Of nazish irfan > Sent: Friday, May 22, 2009 2:28 PM > To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [SI-LIST] Re: spice-impedance profile of pdn > > > Hi All > > I am trying to simulate in LT Spice to get impedance profile of power > distribution network. > > steps I am following are: > > 1: make a netlist of all cap, ind and resistors > > 2: connecting a 1A AC current source at node 1 (input) so as to make V=Z > > 3: connecting a dc path resistance from node 1 to ground > > 4: then do AC analysis and use .NET to get Z (impedance) at node 1 > > results I am getting does not seems to make sense > > Can anybody suggest me something or do anybody has done this before and > can give me sample netlist to get an idea. > > regards > Nazish > > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > 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 technical documents are available at: > http://www.si-list.net > > List archives are viewable at: > //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list > or at our remote archives: > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages > Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: > http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu > > This email and any attachments are intended for the sole use of the named recipient(s) and contain(s) confidential information that may be proprietary, privileged or copyrighted under applicable law.
