Electrical Aspects of Packaging

❑ Consider a Single Chip Package


❑ Signals from the bare chip needs to be routed on to the Printed Wiring Board (PWB) to be able to connect to other
chips.
❑ Each wire used in the package (and PWB) introduces parasitics.
❑ These parasitics slow the speed of signal propagation.

Transmission Line Fundamentals

❑ A transmission line enables the propagation of a signal between two points with minimum degradation.
❑ When electricity flows there is physical movement of charge down one conductor and back the other.
❑ Charge has momentum and continues to flow it has started (inductance).
❑ Metal is not a perfect conductor (resistance).
❑ Equal and opposite charge is stored on the conductors (capacitance).
❑ Dielectric is not a perfect conductor (conductance)

Does current flow uniformly in the Conductor?

❑ Current flows uniformly in the conductor at DC.


❑ Current flows on the skin of the conductor as frequency increases.
❑ Depth to which current flows is a function of frequency.
❑ Since current is confined to the skin of the conductor, this is called skin effect.

❑ The power supply voltage for the transistors should be at Vdd.


❑ However, when the transistor draws current
▪ the interconnects cause a DC voltage drop due to resistance causing a DC offset.
▪ the interconnects cause AC noise due to inductance causing additional voltage drop.
❑ Any reduction in power supply voltage will cause the transistors to slow down or mal-
