Decoupling Capacitance Design Strategies for Power Delivery Networks with Power Gating

Power gating is a widely used leakage power saving strategy in modern chip designs. However, power gating introduces unique power integrity issues and trade-offs between switching and rush current (wake-up) supply noises. At the same time, the amount of ...
Power Islands: A High-Level Technique for Counteracting Leakage in Deep Sub-Micron
ISQED '06: Proceedings of the 7th International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design

With the migration to Deep Sub-Micron (DSM) process technologies, the static power (leakage) has become the major contributor to the design's overall power consumption. In this work, we will show experiments that illustrate the significant increase in ...
Power optimization with power islands synthesis

With the migration to Deep Sub-Micron process technologies, the power consumption of a circuit has come to the forefront of concerns, and as a result, the power has become a critical design parameter. This paper presents a novel high-level synthesis ...
