The continuing VLSI technology scaling leads to increasingly significant power supply fluctuations, which need to be modeled accurately in circuit design and verification. Meanwhi...
Abstract--This paper presents a class of power grid analysis and optimization techniques, all of which are based on the algebraic-multigrid (AMG) method. First, a new AMG-based red...
The decrease in feature size and added chip functionality in large sub-micron integrated circuits demand larger grids for power distribution. Since power grids are performance lim...
Decap (decoupling capacitor) is an effective technique for suppressing power supply noise. Nevertheless, over-usage of decap usually causes excessive power dissipation. Therefore...
In this paper, we present a novel simulation approach for power grid network analysis. The new approach, called ETBR for extended truncated balanced realization, is based on model...
