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...
This paper studies multi-core clock distribution using active deskewing methods. We propose an efficient methodology that uses Verilog-A to model PLLs, clock trees and power suppl...
—Lightning protection for power supply of electronic equipment is an important problem of low-voltage lightning protection systems. In this paper, lightning characteristics of el...
One of the most challenging issues in today's high-performance VLSI design is to ensure high-quality power supply to each individual circuit blocks. Reduced power supply volt...
- The electrical effects of CMOS IC physical defects that caused stuck-openfaults are evaluated, including their voltage levels, quiescent power supply current (IDDQ), transient re...

After a detailed analysis and discussion of two important characteristics of today’s battery cells (i.e., their current-capacity and current-voltage curves), this paper descr...
In this paper, we introduce a discrete-time model for the complete power supply sub-system that closely approximates the behavior of its circuit-level (i.e., HSpice), continuous-t...
