Decoupling capacitor (decap) placement has been widely adopted as an effective way to suppress dynamic power supply noise. Traditional decap budgeting algorithms usually explore t...
Abstract-- With technology further scaling into deep submicron era, power supply noise become an important problem. Power supply noise problem is getting worse due to serious IR-dr...
Scaling of CMOS technology causes the power supply voltages to fall and supply currents to rise at the same time as operating speeds are increasing. Falling supply voltages cause ...
The sensitivity of very deep submicron designs to supply voltage noise is increasing due to higher path delay variations and reduced noise margins with supply noise scaling. The s...
Active decoupling capacitors (decaps) are more effective than passive decaps at reducing local IR-drop problems in the power distribution network. In the basic active decap, two p...
