Power supply noise and related issues have become critical for designs at 90nm and below due to the combination of several factors. Timing slowdown and functional failures are becoming common in these ...

A number of technical challenges have come together to make power grid design one of the most challenging design issues today. Creating the right power grid is a growing problem in leading-edge chips.

Researchers propose a deep learning-based framework PowerPlanningDL to predict the initial power grid design, showing the equivalence between the neural network training and power grid design. “With ...
