Power grid networks in VLSI circuits are required to provide adequate input supply to ensure reliable performance. In this paper, we propose algorithms to find the placement of pow...
Decoupling capacitance (decap) is an efficient way to reduce transient noise in on-chip power supply networks. However, excessive decap may cause more leakage power, chip resource...
Power supply noise is a strong function of the switching activities of the circuit modules. Peak power supply noise can be significantly reduced by judiciously arranging the modu...
This paper describes a new design methodology to analyze the on-chip power supply noise for high performance microprocessors. Based on an integrated package-level and chip-level p...
The placement of on-die decoupling capacitors (decap) between the power and ground supply grids has become a common practice in high performance processor designs. In this paper, ...
