Power Sub-Mesh Construction To Mitigate IR Drop And Minimize Routing Overhead (Intel)


A new technical paper titled "Power Sub-Mesh Construction in Multiple Power Domain Design with IR Drop and Routability Optimization" was published by researchers at Intel Corporation and National Taiwan University. Abstract: "Multiple power domain design is prevalent for achieving aggressive power savings. In such design, power delivery to cross-domain cells poses a tough challenge at adv... » read more

10nm And 7nm Routability – How Is Your CAD Flow Doing?


At DesignCon in January, I was a panelist at a panel session entitled “Power Integrity For 10nm/7nm SoCs - Overcoming Physical Design Challenges And TAT.” I was on the panel together with Arvind Vel, Sr. Director Applications Engineering, ANSYS, Inc. and Ruggero Castagnetti, Distinguished Engineer, Broadcom Limited. This topic is of course extremely broad, but it was interesting getting fee... » read more
