Impact of On-Chip Inductance on Power Supply Integrity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Based on product related scenarios, the impact of on-chip inductance on power supply integrity is analyzed. The impact of varying current profiles is shown to be minimal. In a regular power grid with regular bump connections, the impact of on-chip inductance on the cycle average of the supply voltage can be neglected, even for a worst case estimation of on-chip inductance. Whereas, the maximum transient power supply drop can be significantly underestimated by neglecting on-chip inductance. The impact of on-chip inductance in a System-on-Chip (SoC) environment also can be neglected if the on-chip inductance is conservativly estimated.

Full-chip Power-supply Noise: the Effect of On-chip Power-rail Inductance
The importance of on-chip power-rail inductance in generating delta-I power-supply noise is examined in this paper using systematic circuit simulation of the complete integratedcircuit power net. This source of noise is compared to the resistive IR drop in the net, and to the delta-I noise due to both high-inductanceand low-inductance-bonding packages. Results are presented for a typical on-chi...

Abstract: For high-speed circuits, on-chip inductance can no longer be ignored. This paper deals with inductance in the presence of multi-layered meshes used for on-chip power supplies. We have shown ways of designing power/ground (p/g) mesh that reduce inductance. Accurate 3-dimensional inductance extraction problem is intractable for large chips. We have demonstrated the feasibility of using ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Inductive Effects of On-chip and On-board Return Current Path for Performance Degradation Modeling in Vlsi Design
As the dimension of interconnects in Integrated circuits has become dominant, the inductive effects of the wires cannot be ignored anymore. At high frequency, the return current distributes itself close to the signal path and any increase in the inductance of the return path hampers signal integrity. The multi-layered Power Distribution Network (PDN) is stressed when many devices draw current s...

And have found that it is complete and satisfactory in all aspects, and that any and all revisions required by final examining committee have been made. Abstract As technologies shrink further, operating frequencies increase, and low-k dielectrics are introduced to diminish capacitive effects, on-chip inductance effects become more and more dominant in VLSI circuits. The accurate extraction, si...
متن کاملSmall Saturating Inductors for More Compact Switching Power Supplies
Other than by reducing power, extending battery life in portable microelectronics amounts to increasing power efficiency, which when coupled with accuracy, translates to increasing filter inductance. The problem with higher inductances is magnetic cores require more space to prevent the onset of saturation, so accuracy and efficiency (via their need for bulky inductors) hamper the miniaturizati...
