Power supply noise and related issues have become critical for designs at 90nm and below due to the combination of several factors. Timing slowdown and functional failures are becoming common in these ...

A number of technical challenges have come together to make power grid design one of the most challenging design issues today. Creating the right power grid is a growing problem in leading-edge chips.

Obtaining reliable data from electric utilities about magnitude and duration of single-phase, line-to-ground fault currents at the service entrance of commercial and industrial facilities is of ...

“With the improvement of VLSI technology, on-chip power grid design is becoming more challenging than before. In this design phase of VLSI CAD, power grids are generated in order to make power and ...

A recent trend confusing two quite different terms has had a huge negative impact on the yield, reliability, and manufacturability of DSM (deep-submicron) and subwavelength semiconductor designs. This ...
