IR-drop has always been somewhat of an issue in chip design; voltage decreases as current travels along any path with any resistance. Ohm’s Law is likely the first thing that every electrical engineer ...
One of the more interesting detailed conversations at DAC this year was with Teklatech, a small Danish company supplying a tool to improve dynamic IR drop and clock noise problems. Unlike analysis ...
“With advanced semiconductor technology progressing well into sub-7nm scale, voltage drop has become an increasingly challenging issue. As a result, there has been extensive research focused on ...
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 ...
Set-Top-Box(STB) SoC designs are extremely complex with multi-million standard cells, higher core utilization of around 70-80 %, and multiple clock domains including high and low frequencies. An ...
The demand for more functions and better performance continues to fuel the drive to more advanced process technologies. With each new technology generation, however, designers must deal with an ...
In the relentless pursuit of semiconductor performance and efficiency, tech giants like Google are constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Tech giants continue to push the boundaries of ...
