Hi All, I just finished this month's Technical Tidbit article over the weekend. It deals with characterizing noise in chip packages and includes new information and data since my IEEE paper on the subject was written.
Abstract: Voltage drops in chip packages can cause significant signal integrity and EMC problems. The good news is that in many cases these voltages can be measured through mutual inductance. Measured results and their interpretation are discussed. The key here is interpretation of the scope waveforms. Two specific cases are studied in the article.
