The analysis of CMOS VLSI circuit switching current has become an increasingly important and difficult task from both a VLSI design and simulation software perspective. This paper...
Simultaneous switching noise (SSN) has become an important issue in the design of the internal on-chip power distribution networks in current very large scale integration/ultra lar...
The ITRS (International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors) predicts aggressive scaling down of device size, transistor threshold voltage and oxide thickness to meet growing de...
In this paper, we consider the problem of maximizing the battery life (or duration of service) in battery-powered CMOS circuits. We first show that the battery efficiency (or utili...
Extensive research has proposed the use of multiple on-die power supplies (VDD) for reducing power consumption in CMOS circuits. We present a detailed study and design techniques ...
