Inductance Extraction For Physics-Based Modeling Of Power Net Area Fills With Complex Shapes And Voids Using The Plane-Pair Peec Method

Identifying the dominant inductance in power distribution network design for multi-layer printed circuit boards that use power net area fills is essential. The plane-Pair partial element equivalent circuit method is used herein to extract a lumped inductance suitable for a physics-based circuit model for power net area fills. The method is being applied for evaluating inductance for irregular geometry with cutouts and holes.
