Abstract - Today's digital design systems are running out of steam, when it comes to meeting the challenges presented by simultaneous switching, power consumption and reliabil...
Current source based cell models are becoming a necessity for accurate timing and noise analysis at 65nm and below. Voltage waveform shapes are increasingly more difficult to repr...
— This paper suggests a methodology to decrease the power of a static CMOS standard cell design at layout level by focusing on switched capacitance. The term switched is the key:...
Discovery of large amounts of idle CPUs in fully distributed and shared Grid systems is needed in relevant applications and is still a challenging problem. In this paper we present...
Power supply noise increases the circuit delay, which may lead to performance failure of a design. Decoupling capacitance (decap) addition is effective in reducing the power suppl...
