Abstract

In this paper, we propose an efficient and accurate modeling technique for power supply noise estimation over on-chip power lines which are modeled as distributed RCL networks. With this model, peak noise on the power lines that includes on-chip resistive and inductive voltage drops, switching noise on packages, and on-chip decoupling effects, can be computed very efficiently and accurately. The model is verified by SPICE simulations
