  • Abstract
    As part of power delivery network verification, one should check if the voltage fluctuations exceed some critical threshold. In this work, we consider the power and ground grids together and describe an early verification approach under the framework of current constraints where tight lower and upper bounds on worst-case voltage fluctuations are computed via linear programs. Experimental results indicate that the proposed technique results in errors in the range of a few mV.
