ABSTRACT:
A method for electronic circuit power plane design includes analyzing direct current (DC) properties of a power plane of an electronic circuit. The method includes analyzing power net inductance (PNI) properties of the power plane and identifying victim areas of the power plane having predetermined current density properties based on the DC properties and the PNI properties of the power plane. The method further includes replacing the identified victim areas with ground (GND) shapes to form a modified power plane.
