Claim:
1. A method, comprising: providing an electronic design file that includes an integrated circuit (IC) component that is operably coupled to a package component, wherein the IC component and package component collectively form a resistor inductor capacitor (RLC) resonant circuit; providing a damping component in the electronic design file, wherein the damping component is configured to reduce a pre-resonant time during which the RLC resonant circuit approaches a resonant condition, wherein the damping component comprises a time-dependent resistance that decreases from an initial resistance to a final resistance that is less than the initial resistance, wherein the initial resistance is proportional to (L/C) performing a first simulation of the RLC resonant circuit with the damping component, the first simulation being performed until the resonant condition is met; when the resonant condition is met, performing a second simulation to model power delivery to the IC component based on the electronic design file; and selectively manufacturing the IC component on a substrate based on results of the second simulation.
