Electronic Device Charactrerization
IdEM is a user friendly tool for the generation of SPICE ready macromodels of electrical interconnect structures such as packages, connectors, via fi elds, discontinuities up to backplane links and complete power delivery networks. Starting from their input-output port responses, derived from measurement or simulation, IdEM provides accurate, proven, passive and causal broadband computational models that can be used in any circuit simulation environment for reliable transient and AC analyses.
IdEM is an optional part of CST Studio Suite and is also available as a stand-alone offering.
