Description

These benchmarks originate from VLSI circuits. Specifically resistor-capacitor-inductor circuits, which can be represented by first order descriptor systems, following a modeling process based on the two Kirchhoff's circuit laws and the branch constitutive relations.

PEEC Problem

This RCL circuit is a PEEC discretization and has 2100 capacitors, 172 inductors, 6990 inductive couplings, as well as a resistive source,. The resulting model has 306 states, and two inputs and outputs.

Package Problem

The second problem models a 64-pin package of an RF circuit. A subset of eight pins carry signals, which leads to sixteen terminals (eight interior and eight exterior),. The resulting model has 1841 states, and sixteen inputs and outputs.

Origin

This benchmark is part of the Oberwolfach Benchmark Collection; see .

Data

The PEEC problem and package problem are available as MATLAB .mat files, providing the $A$, $B$, $E$ matrices, while $C=B^{⊺}$ is assumed:

• PEEC.zip (32.8KB)
• Package.zip (78.7KB)

Dimensions

System structure:

$\begin{array}{rl}E\dot{x}(t)& =Ax(t)+Bu(t)\\ y(t)& =Cx(t)\end{array}$

System dimensions:

$E\in {\mathbb{ℝ}}^{N\times N}$, $A\in {\mathbb{ℝ}}^{N\times N}$, $B\in {\mathbb{ℝ}}^{N\times M}$, $C\in {\mathbb{ℝ}}^{M\times N}$.

System variants:

$N=306$, $M=2$, for the PEEC problem, and $N=1841$, $M=16$ for the package problem.
