Abstract:A novel method was developed to determine equivalent circuits for plastic packages. The method first divides the package shapes into basic shapes including one or two lead pins, and determines the S parameters of each basic shape using an electromagnetic field simulator. Next, the equivalent circuits and parameters of each shape are determined by a successive fitting technique using a microwave circuit simulator, and these are combined to achieve the total equivalent circuit for the package. The results agree … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
