More than ever, power integrity is vital in the successful creation of today's system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs. That's because e xcessive rail voltage drop ( IR drop) and ground bounce can create ...

IR drop is becoming a much bigger problem as technology nodes scale and more components are packed into advanced packages. This is partly a result of physics, but it’s also the result of how the ...

In the move to higher clock rates and advanced process technologies, designers find increasing silicon failure in designs that appear to pass verification signoff. Today, many problems can be traced ...

As technologies and foundry process nodes continue to advance, it gets more difficult to design and verify integrated circuits (ICs). The challenges become even more apparent in 5nm and below nodes, ...
