Wednesday May 13th: Importance of Signal Integrity Simulations in Early Phase of Product Design: From Component to System Level


Paper authors: Ali Nadir ARSLAN and Wu FENG

Authors affiliation: Nokia Corporation

Presenter name: Ali Nadir ARSLAN

Abstract
In a product creation, in order to understand of mechanism on degrading signal quality and to give guidelines on design decisions one should make signal integrity simulations to obtain good estimates of total waveform on each signal line. First time success (in component / module implementation and component / module integration into the product), ensuring product level signal quality performance, identifying risks in the concept phase and higher the maturity of a design in an early stage can be listed as some objectives of signal integrity simulations. In order to perform signal integrity simulations in system design component / module simulation models are needed like IBIS/ EBD models. The simulations can not be more accurate than the models. That means, only based on the good quality models, simulation results can be reliable or useful. That brings to importance of having a process in chain of product creation from component manufacturing to module manufacturing and from module manufacturing to end product manufacturing. The process should enable an automated good quality & ready to use model delivering with milestones and common agreement amongs player in product creation. In this presentation, a procedure with scheduling for delivering / verifying IBIS / EBD models will be presented and the result of case studies of signal integrity simulations in system level will be shown

Thursday May 14th: State of the art in model order reduction

Paper authors: Wil SCHILDERS

Authors affiliation: NXP Semiconductors & TU Eindhoven

Presenter name: Wil SCHILDERS

Abstract
Model order reduction is a florishing field of research, both in numerical mathematics and in dynamics, systems and control. The electronics industry has always played a vital role in the developments, and has provided many motivating topics and examples for researchers that have advanced the field. In this presentation, we will discuss the current state-of-the-art in the field of model order reduction (see [1]), and present several examples to demonstrate its effectiveness for the solution of problems in the electronics industry. We will also discuss current requirements, derived from practical problems, that necessitate new developments in the mathematical theory. Examples of these are structure preserving techniques, passivity preservation and enforcement, and techniques for nonlinear model order reduction.

Biography of Wil SCHILDERS
Wil Schilders (NL, 1956) obtained his Ph.D. in numerical mathematics from Trinity College Dublin in 1980. Since then, he has been working at Philips Electronics on algorithms and tools for semiconductor device, circuit and electromagnetics simulations. Since 2006, he is employed with NXP Seiconductors, the former semiconductor division of Philips. He is the leader of the Mathematics cluster within NXP Research and, since 1999, holds the (part time) chair on "Numerical methods for industry" at Eindhoven University of Technology, supervising M.Sc., Ph.D. and postdoc students, leading projects on methods and simulation tools for the electronics and medical industry. He is a frequent organizer of conferences and workshops, his main interests being in numerical linear algebra and model order reduction. In 2005, he published a special volume on numerical methods in electromagnetics, whereas in 2008 a survey volume on model order reduction was completed. He will be president of the European Consortium for Mathemaics in Industry (ECMI) from 2010-2011, and is the editor-in-chief of the Dutch journal for mathematicians.
