A hierarchical power distribution methodology that enables more than dozen power domains in a chip and a power management scheme using 20 power domains are described. This method ...
As the end of Moores-law is on the horizon, power becomes a limiting factor to continuous increases in performance gains for single-core processors. Processor engineers have shifte...
Because magnetic e ects have a much longer spatial range than electrostatic e ects, an interconnect line with large inductance will be sensitive to distant variations in interconn...

Crosstalk effects degrade the integrity of signals traveling on long interconnects and must be addressed during manufacturing testing. External testing for crosstalk is expensive ...
As process technologies continue to scale, the magnitude of within-die device parameter variations is expected to increase and may lead to significant timing variability. This pap...
