Is Your Voltage Drop Flow Obsolete?

By Marc Swinnen - 13 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

Voltage drop at advanced nodes is a deadly serious problem that has become unmanageable with the methodologies used by most chip designers today. This article will cover the reasons why power integrity has risen to a top-of-mind concern and why it has become almost impossible for today’s EDA tools to measure and fix it. We will then look at some radical methodology rethinking that is needed t... » read more
