Abstract: A method for the prediction of simultaneous switching output (SSO) noise that may be generated by one or more signal conduction paths within an electrical system. Electrical disturbance waveforms are first recorded for each signal conduction path that may be affected by the electrical disturbances. Next, principles of superposition are utilized to coherently combine each of the electrical disturbance waveforms in the time domain to generate the predicted SSO noise waveform that is imposed upon the affected signal conduction path. The electrical disturbance waveforms may be produced either by using bench measurements performed on an actual integrated circuit, by simulation, or by a combination of simulation and bench measurements.
