Abstract
A method, system, and product are disclosed for determining a voltage drop across an entire integrated circuit package. A geometric description of the entire integrated circuit package is determined. The description is subdivided into non-uniform areas. A resistance of each one of the non-uniform areas is determined. A resistive netlist of the entire integrated circuit package is then determined by combining the resistance of each one of the non-uniform areas. The package is then simulated utilizing the netlist to determine the voltage drop across the entire integrated circuit package.
