Abstract
This article describes a full-die dynamic model of an Intel Pentium IV microprocessor design. The authors show that transient supply noise is sensitive to nonuniform decoupling-capacitor distribution, and that supply-drop locality is a tight function of frequency and package-die resonance, leading to significant localized resonant effects.
