The width of an interconnect line a ects the total power consumed by a circuit. A tradeo exists, however, between the dynamic power and the short-circuit power in determining the ...
Abstract--The design of high integrity, area efficient power distribution grids has become of practical importance as the portion of on-chip interconnect resources dedicated to pow...
— Interconnect plays an increasingly important role in deep submicrometer VLSI technologies. Multiple design criteria are considered in interconnect design, such as delay, power,...
Higher operating frequencies have increased the importance of inductance in power and ground networks. The effective inductance of the power and ground network can be reduced with...
Repeaters are often used to drive high impedance interconnects. These lines have become highly inductive and can affect signal behavior. The line inductance should therefore be co...
