We examine the passivity and stability of quasi-static partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) models. The impact of inaccuracies in the computed partial element values is considered as a possible source of time domain instabilities. Our analysis shows how existing partial element calculation routines, analytical and numerical, and the use of poor mesh generators can introduce large errors in partial element values. We also show how this affects the passivity and stability of the PEEC model. Theoretical constraints for passivity are derived which depend on accuracy of partial element values. The conditions are verified by performing practical PEEC model analysis.

Abstract

We examine the passivity and stability of quasi-static partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) models. The impact of inaccuracies in the computed partial element values is considered as a possible source of time domain instabilities. Our analysis shows how existing partial element calculation routines, analytical and numerical, and the use of poor mesh generators can introduce large errors in partial element values. We also show how this affects the passivity and stability of the PEEC model. Theoretical constraints for passivity are derived which depend on accuracy of partial element values. The conditions are verified by performing practical PEEC model analysis.
