Taking Inductance And Electromagnetic Effects More Seriously
By Magdy Abadir - 03 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

By Magdy Abadir and Yehea Ismail With increasing frequencies, tighter margins, denser integrated circuits, new devices and materials, the necessity of full EM analysis including magnetic/inductive effects is becoming a fundamental question for the industry. Where and when should full EM verification be included? Can some of major chip failures during development be attributed to ignoring ... » read more

Why Inductance Is Good for Area, Power and Performance
By Magdy Abadir - 12 Mar, 2018 - Comments: 0

By Magdy Abadir and Yehea Ismail For chips designed at advanced technology nodes, interconnect is the dominant contributor towards delay, power consumption, and reliability. Major interconnects such as clock trees, power distribution networks and wide buses play a significant role in chip failure mechanisms such as jitter, noise coupling, power distribution droops, and electro-migration. ... » read more

Pushing Performance Limits
By Brian Bailey - 08 Feb, 2018 - Comments: 0

Trying to squeeze the last bit of performance out of a chip sounds like a good idea, but it increases risk and cost, extends development time, reduced yield, and it may even limit the environments in which the chip can operate. And yet, given the amount of margin added at every step of the development process, it seems obvious that plenty of improvements could be made. "Every design can be o... » read more
