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...
—On-chip decoupling capacitors (decaps) are generally used to reduce power supply noise. Passive decap designs are reaching their limits in 90nm CMOS technology due to higher ope...
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, ...
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 proposes Noise-Direct, a design methodology for power integrity aware floorplanning, using microarchitectural feedback to guide module placement. Stringent power constr...
