HP ADS has some very accurate yet very simple models

What about a TSSOP package like memory drivers come
in? I've found that a
lumped RLC model still works pretty well for these kinds of packages
(i.e.,
I get good lab correlation) - and the package effects are certainly
not
negligible. I haven't done very extensive power distribution
modeling for
TSSOPs, but my guess is that an RLC matrix would do the job.
So I wouldn't
go so far as to say that lumped RLC models are a thing of the past.
I would also argue that an inductance matrix is the appropriate model
for
bond wires in just about any package that uses them. But Larry's
right -
once you get onto the substrate in something like a laminate BGA package
you need transmission line analysis. Sometimes what you really
need is
coupled transmission line analysis where the cross-section varies as
you
move from the bond pad to the via. This is a difficult structure
to
accurately represent in a package model.

Subject: Re: [SI-LIST] : Package Parasitics Modelling
Daniel - I agree. R-L-C models worked well for packages that had
no ground or power planes because the parasitics really were similar
to lumped parameters. But in modern packages with power and ground
planes, the package parasitics are definitely distributed like
transmission lines. If the package parasitics are important enough
to be considered in a design problem, then a lumped (single) R-L-C
model
does not have enough detail to give you the answer you are looking
for.
