Measure Parasitic Capacitance and Inductance Using TDR
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) is commonly used as a convenient method to determine the characteristic impedance of a transmission line, or to quantify reflections caused by discontinuities along or at the termination of a transmission line. TDR can also be used to measure quantities such as the input capacitance of a voltage probe, the inductance of a jumper wire, the end to end capacitance of a resistor, or the effective loading of a PCI card. Element values can be calculated directly from the integral of the reflected or transmitted waveform.

Extraction of Parasitic Circuit Elements in a Pebb for Application in the Virtual Test Bed
A numerical procedure for extracting parasitic circuit elements using a quasi-static field solver, as part of the Virtual Test Bed (VTB), is discussed. The parasitic inductance and capacitance values obtained from the model are compared to measured values from a low-inductance Power Electronic Building Block (PEBB) module, designed and constructed at Harris Semiconductor.

Generally, quartz crystal inductance frequency pulling in oscillators is very low and therefore is not often used in practice. The new method of improving frequency pullability uses inductance to compensate for quartz stray capacitances. To this end, a special AT fundamental quartz crystal working near the antiresonance frequency is selected. By modifying its equivalent circuit with load induct...

We present a numerical model for time domain reflectometry (TDR) signal propagation in dispersive dielectric materials. The numerical probe model is terminated with a parallel circuit, consisting of an ohmic resistor and an ideal capacitance. We derive analytical approximations for the capacitance, the inductance and the conductance of three-wire probes. We couple the time domain model with glo...

With the progress of semiconductor manufacturing technology, the number of transistors integrated in one chip reaches more than 1 billion. The speeding-up of the operating frequency and the scaling of the fabrication process expose many problems, such as the interconnect delay due to the parasitic capacitance, inductance and resistance, and the manufacturing variation. Therefore, physical desig...
