Current Static Timing Analysis (STA) techniques allow one to verify the timing of a circuit at different process corners which only consider cases where all the supplies are low o...
We present a methodology for the design and analysis of power grids in the PowerPC™ microprocessors. The methodology covers the need for power grid analysis across all stages of...

The decrease in feature size and added chip functionality in large sub-micron integrated circuits demand larger grids for power distribution. Since power grids are performance lim...
With the scaling of technology, power grid noise is becoming increasingly significant for circuit performance. A typical power grid circuit contains millions of linear elements, m...
In this paper, a new sparse approximation technique is proposed for incremental power grid analysis. Our proposed method is motivated by the observation that when a power grid net...
