    摘要: A method for estimating decoupling capacitance during an ASIC design flow is disclosed. The method includes precharacterizing a set of power grid structures to model their respective noise behaviors, and storing the respective noise behaviors as noise factors in a table. During the ASIC design flow for a current design that includes at least one of the precharacterized power grid structures, the corresponding noise factor from the table is used to calculate decoupling capacitance for the current design.

    摘要: An integrated circuit with a power and ground distribution system having a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, and an insulating layer disposed between the first layer and the second layer. A first ring is formed in the first layer, where the first ring forms a first loop around a peripheral portion of the integrated circuit. First straps are formed in the first layer, where the first straps have connections to the first ring. First horizontal members are formed in the first layer, where the first horizontal members have connections to the first ring. Second horizontal members are formed in the first layer, where the second horizontal members do not have connections to the first ring. A second ring is formed in the second layer, where the second ring forms a second loop around the peripheral portion of the integrated circuit. The second ring is interleaved with the first ring. Second straps are formed in the second layer, where the second straps have connections to the second ring. Second vertical members are formed in the second layer, where the second vertical members have connections to the second ring. First vertical members are formed in the second layer, where the first vertical members do not have connections to the second ring. First vias form connections between the first vertical members and the first ring. Second vias form connections between the second horizontal members and the second ring. The first elements form a first subsystem such as for power, and the second elements form a second subsystem such as for ground.

    摘要: A rectangular termination ring for a power distribution mesh is placed on the upper two layers of an integrated circuit and may be placed over some I/O circuitry. The strapping connecting the bonding pads to the termination ring are placed on upper levels of the integrated circuit, minimizing the via requirements and freeing space for additional circuitry. Further, the termination ring may be adapted to work in conjunction with L-shaped, as well as other power distribution meshes.
