In the design of complex power distribution networks (PDN) with multiple power islands, it is required that the PDN represents a low impedance as seen by the digital modules. This...
Off-chip decoupling capacitor (decap) allocation is a demanding task during package and chip codesign. Existing approaches can not handle large numbers of I/O counts and large num...
The placement of on-die decoupling capacitors (decap) between the power and ground supply grids has become a common practice in high performance processor designs. In this paper, ...
Active decoupling capacitors (decaps) are more effective than passive decaps at reducing local IR-drop problems in the power distribution network. In the basic active decap, two p...
