TUESDAY, June 8, 2004, 4:30 PM - 6:30 PM | Room: 6A
TOPIC AREA:  POWER

   SESSION 11
  Power Grid Design and Analysis Techniques
  Chair: Eli Chiprout - Intel Corp., Chandler, AZ
  Organizers: Abhijit Dharchoudhury, Lei He

  This session deals with power grid and clock design and analysis. The first paper considers buffer sizing for low power with clock skew constraints. The second paper discusses optimal placement of power pads and pins. The third paper proposes a stochastic approach to P/G analysis and the fourth paper describes a practical application of macro-modeling to P/G analysis. The last paper presents a layout decompaction technique to correct EM failures.
