As technology advances, the metal width is decreasing with the length increasing, making the resistance along the power line increase substantially. Together with the nonlinear sc...
This paper presents an efficient method for optimizing power/ground (P/G) networks by widening wires and adding decoupling capacitors (decaps). It proposes a structured skeleton t...
We present a methodology for the design and analysis of power grids in the PowerPC™ microprocessors. The methodology covers the need for power grid analysis across all stages of...

Power Gating is effective for reducing leakage power. Previously, a Distributed Sleep Transistor Network (DSTN) was proposed to reduce the sleep transistor area by connecting all ...
Abstract--Power analysis early in the design cycle is critical for the design of lowpower systems. With the move to system-level specifications and design methodologies, there has ...
