The goal of a well-designed power delivery network (PDN) is to deliver desired voltage level
from the source to destination, in other words, to minimize voltage noise and errors delivered …

For power delivery applications, a method for reducing impedance is through the addition of
decoupling capacitors (decaps). In this article, we propose a knowledge-based optimization …

A new concept of target impedance which directly correlates the I/O buffer output jitter with

The multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) can vibrate due to the piezoelectric effect when
there is AC noise on the power rail. The vibration of the capacitor will generate a force on the …

This paper presents a novel methodology for on-chip power-noise modeling in the early
stage of system-on-chip (SoC) design. Conventionally, the on-chip power-noise simulation …
