—In this paper we study the effectiveness of two power gating methods – transistor switches and MEMS switches – in reducing the power consumption of a design with a certain t...
With the increasing power density and heat-dissipation cost of modern VLSI designs, thermal and power integrity has become serious concern. Although the impacts of thermal effects...

Higher operating frequencies have increased the importance of inductance in power and ground networks. The effective inductance of the power and ground network can be reduced with...
One of the fundamental problems in Deep Sub Micron (DSM) circuits is Simultaneous Switching Noise (SSN), which causes voltage fluctuations in the circuit power/ground networks. In...
