An optimized cost/performance PDS design using OptimizePI
... The designer must manually replace/remove de-capacitors to check if both self-impedance and transfer-impedance are improved on traditional simulators. Also, it is a time-consuming job to observe all interesting nodes when each time the cap was changed . If the cost of the design is concerned, th ...
