Pipeline Damping: A Microarchitectural Technique to Reduce Inductive Noise in Supply Voltage
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 ...

Active decap design considerations for optimal supply noise reduction
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...
