Introduction to PEEC
Partial Element Equivalent Circuit Technique and Early Evolution History of Modeling for SI/PI

Albert E. Ruehli

EMC Department, Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, MO, USA Emeritus IBM Research, Yorktown Heights, NY, USA

The basics and recent progress in the Partial Element Equivalent Circuit (PEEC) technique for the modeling of electrical interconnect and package 3D electromagnetic modeling is presented.

We also consider in this presentation the historical aspects of electrical interconnect and package modeling, with examples of various problems, as well as the evolution of solution techniques. We specifically consider details for inductance computations and important aspects of electromagnetic modeling such as 3D skin-effects based on the PEEC methods.

Bio: ALBERT E. RUEHLI received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering in 1972 from the University of Vermont, Burlington, and an honorary doctorate in 2007 from the Lulea University in Sweden. He has been a member of various projects with IBM including mathematical analysis, semiconductor circuits and devices modeling, and as manager of a VLSI design and CAD group. Since 1972, he has been at IBM’s T.J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York, where he was a Research Staff Member in the Electromagnetic Analysis Group. He is now an Emeritus of IBM Research and an adjunct professor in the EMC area at the Missouri U. of Science & Technology. He is the editor of

two books, Circuit Analysis, Simulation and Design (New York, North Holland 1986, 1987) and he is an author or coauthor of over 200 technical papers. Dr. Ruehli has served in numerous capacities for the IEEE. In 1984 and 1985, he was the Technical and General Chairman, respectively, of the ICCD International Conference. He has been a member of the IEEE ADCOM for the Circuit and System Society and an associate editor for the Trans. on Computer-Aided Design. He has given talks at universities including keynote addresses and tutorials at conferences, and has organized many sessions. He received IBM Research Division or IBM Outstanding Contribution Awards in 1975, 1978, 1982, 1995 and 2000. In 1982, he received the Guillemin-Cauer Prize Award for his work on waveform relaxation, and in 1999, he received a Golden Jubilee Medal, both from the IEEE CAS Society. In 2001, he received a Certificate of Achievement from the IEEE EMC society for inductance concepts and the Partial Element Equivalent Circuit(PEEC) method. He received the 2005 Richard R Stoddart Award, and in 2007 he received the Honorary Life Member Award from the IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility Society for outstanding technical performance. In 2010 he received a best paper award at the EPEPS conference for his work on optimized waveform relaxation. He is a Life Fellow of the IEEE and a member of SIAM.

What is ‘Electromagnetic Compatibility’?
(And why the heck should I care?)
Bruce Archambeault, PhD
IEEE Fellow, IBM Distinguished Engineer Emeritus Missouri University of Science & Technology Adjunct Professor

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is more important than ever before in the explosion of electronic and wireless devices in today’s world. Insuring electronic devices do not interfere with each other, and even with themselves is the core of EMC. There are many different ways electronic devices can cause, or be susceptible to, EMC.

This seminar will explain the different types of EMC issues and show examples of recent (sometimes amusing, sometimes scary) EMC problems in every day devices. The fundamental issues that usually cause EMC issues are seldom taught in most universities and will be discussed in this seminar.

Dr. Bruce Archambeault is an IBM Distinguished Engineer Emeritus and an Adjunct Professor at Missouri University of Science and Technology. He received his Ph. D. from the University of New Hampshire in 1997. His doctoral research was in the area of computational electromagnetics applied to real-world EMC problems.

Dr. Archambeault has authored or co-authored a number of papers in

computational electromagnetics, mostly applied to real-world EMC applications. He is the author of the book “PCB Design for Real-World EMI Control” and the lead author of the book titled “EMI/EMC Computational Modeling Handbook”.
