A power supply noise analysis model creation method comprising; obtaining a distance which appears most frequently, from among the distances from a vias judged to be the nearest to the vias, respectively, as a reference via pitch, generates four nodes for the via of target wherein the four nodes generates the middle point with the other four via that are near the via of the target, obtaining meshes which include the nodes, respectively, by dividing the power island structure and the power supply pair by dividing lines which pass between the generated nodes, and converting each of the meshes obtained to a circuit element equivalent to the mesh.

Power supply noise analysis model creation method and apparatus, and recording medium storing program for power supply noise analysis model creation

An object is to simplify a power supply noise analysis model of a circuit board. CAD data of the circuit board is obtained from a CAD apparatus, and overlapping power supply islands among power supply islands existing in different layers of the circuit board are extracted as a power supply pair. Nodes are arranged in the extracted power supply pair, and the nodes of the power supply pair are projected on the power supply islands to which the power supply pair belongs. A mesh region which encloses each node is determined for each power supply island, and impedance (L, R, C) between nodes is calculated. Then, a power supply noise analysis model is created based on the impedance between nodes in each layer, and a capacitance between layers.
