The effect of power islands on delta-I noise, interconnect noise, and timing for wide, on-chip data-buses
Abstract
A study is shown of the effect of having breaks in the power distribution on large microprocessor chips. The effect on delta-I noise, interconnect noise, and timing is illustrated through simulation results obtained with representative driver and receiver circuits and guidelines are given on how to minimize the impact of the power islands. © 2005 IEEE.
