Efficient solvers
Basic PEEC Theory
Invented by A. Ruehli (IBM) through the concepts of
partial inductance (1972)
partial capacitance (1973)
integrating them into the same formulation (1974)

Typically a large equivalent
circuit is generated.
It can be easily mapped into
Spice-like environments.

PEEC model analysis are tipically performed in
current and voltage (or sometimes charge) variables.
A possible alternative approach can use incident and
reflected voltage wave variables.

DWN is not just a change of variables !!!

Analogously ...
Constitutive equations are explicit!!
nevertheless Kirchoff laws still enforce implicit
equations
... we can get a more explicit scheme by introducing
delays on coupling modeling.
Adaptors
UAq EMC Laboratory 9
In order to transfer signal (voltages or currents) between circuital
elements we use series or parallel connection.
In the wave domain the equivalent concept is represented by adaptors.

Marx model for inductive coupling

Multiple coupling requires the
computation of reluctances
(acceleration techniques).
Mutual inductors are
delayed by one time step.

ASc adaptors connect the capacitive
portion of the PEEC model
ASs and ASL connect source and load
respectively
NL parallel adaptors allow us to represent
the Marx model
ASRL adaptors build the RL branches

Root of the digital network
The N parallel adaptors
will become the nodes of the Root
The AS series adaptors
will become the branches of the Root
We have a loop that prevents
the explicit resolution of the
innermost part of the digital
network.
Root circuital representation

The root of the digital network can be
solved by Nodal Analysis of an
equivalent electrical circuit.

Circuit-oriented tool, alternative to MNA solvers.
A semiexplicit scheme has been utilized but
several other schemes can be used, some of them
being fully explicit.
Digital Wave Simulator (DWS) Development started at CSELT Labs (Turin) in 1974 by P. Belforte & G.
Guaschino for design of high-speed digital systems
From 1986 to 2001 at HDT (Turin) as general purpose Spice-like simulator
(SPRINT). SI/PI/EMC applications included PRESTO (post-layout),
EMIR (emissions) and THRIS in cooperation with CSELT (Qualification
tool)
In 1998 at HDT first DWS-PEEC application (3D_PEEC)
From 2001 to present as DWS including Multi-gigabit applications as
HiSAFE for Cisco Systems (P. Belforte)
From 2012 also as Spicy SWAN cloud-based app
From Feb. 2016 new PEEC-DWS developments in a cooperation driven by
P.Belforte and G.Antonini.

DWS main features
Conversion of a Spice-like netlist into a Digital Network
equivalent including circuital elements and nodes as
scattering blocks exchanging waves at their ports.
DSP oriented solution apart from the root. DFLs solved by
port-matching calculation scheduling
Wideband SI/PI/EMC applications
Complementary to Spice

Conclusions
26
A Digital Wave (DW) model of quasi-static PEEC circuits has
been proposed.
A proper scheduling of calculations has been used.
Significant speed-ups (up to 627x) have been experienced
replacing MNA Spice-like solvers with DWS.
DWS speed-up increases with PEEC model complexity.
A semi-explicit scheme has been tested so far but...
...at least 7 more implementations including fully explicit schemes
with different stability properties and performances are possible.
They are under investigation.
Future work
UAq EMC Laboratory 27
Inclusion of physical delays leading also to a fully
explicit scheme.
Stability and passivity analysis of delayed wave digital
network.
Developement of a in-house Digital Wave PEEC Solver
exploiting the features of all the possible topologies.
Inclusion of skin-effect and dielectric losses.
