— Decoupling capacitors (decaps) are typically used to reduce the noise in the power supply network. Because the delay of gates and interconnects is affected by the supply voltag...
Abstract--This paper provides a high level survey of the increasing effects of on-chip inductance. These effects are classified into desirable and nondesirable effects. Among the u...
For timing-driven or yield-driven designs, non-tree routing has become more and more popular and additional loops provide the redundant paths to protect against the effect of the ...
This paper describes XTalkDelay, an industrial-strength methodology and tool for measuring the impact of crosstalk on delays of paths in a design. The main cornerstone of XTalkDel...
The importance of an interconnect pattern density model in ASIC design flow for a 90nm technology is presented. It is shown that performing the timing analysis at the worst-case c...
