One of the fundamental problems in Deep Sub Micron (DSM) circuits is Simultaneous Switching Noise (SSN), which causes voltage fluctuations in the circuit power/ground networks. In...
In high speed digital circuits, the inductive effect is more dominant compared to capacitive effect. In particular, as the technology is shrinking, the spacing between interconnec...

The placement of on-die decoupling capacitors (decap) between the power and ground supply grids has become a common practice in high performance processor designs. In this paper, ...
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...
