SI/PI-Database

The SI/PI-Database is a collection of printed circuit board (PCB) based structures which represent different electromagnetic aspects for signal integrity and power integrity applications. The structures have different components and interconnecting elements e.g. via-arrays, different  planes or dimension. Each structures contains many variations of geometry and material parameters and their respective simulation results. All structures were simulated with a physics-based approach, developed by the Institut für Theoretische Elektrotechnik, and cross validated with a full-wave solver.
