In this work we propose a methodology to self-consistently solve leakage power with temperature to predict thermal runaway. We target 28nm FinFET based circuits as they are more p...
– Identifying worst-case voltage drop conditions in every module supplied by the power grid is a crucial problem in modern IC design. In this paper we develop a novel methodology...
