This paper presents an efficient heuristic algorithm to design a power distribution network of a chip by employing a successive partitioning and grid refinement scheme. In an it...
—The clock distribution network is a key component of any synchronous VLSI design. High power dissipation and pressure volume temperature-induced variations in clock skew have st...

Integrating a large number of on-chip voltage regulators holds the promise of solving many power delivery challenges through strong local load regulation and facilitates systemlev...
Abstract—Interconnects (wires, buffers, clock distribution networks, multiplexers and busses) consume a significant fraction of total circuit power. In this work, we demonstrat...
