Decoupling capacitance (decap) is an efficient way to reduce transient noise in on-chip power supply networks. However, excessive decap may cause more leakage power, chip resource...
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, ...
Power delivery is a growing reliability concern in microprocessors as the industry moves toward feature-rich, powerhungrier designs. To battle the ever-aggravating power consumpti...
