چکیده
On-chip simultaneous switching noise (SSN) has become an important issue in the design of power distribution networks in current VLSI/ULSI circuits. An analytical expression characterizing the simultaneous switching noise voltage is presented here based on a lumped model. The waveform describing the SSN voltage is quite close to the waveform obtained from SPICE. The peak value of the simultaneous switching noise voltage based on this analytical expression is within 10% as compared to SPICE simulations.

This paper proposes a reconfigurable current steering digital to analog converter (DAC). The differential non-linearity error (DNL) of the DAC is estimated on-chip. This is used to reconfigure the switching sequence to get a lower integral nonlinearity error (INL). A 10 bit segmented DAC along with the associated circuits for DNL estimation was designed and fabricated using 0.35μm CMOS technolo...
