With silicon technology further scaling, the switching activities together with GHz operation frequency greatly affects the power integrity by generating large IR-drop noises. Excessive IR-drop causes functional failures such as timing failure, abnormal reset and SRAM flipping. The PGN needs to be optimized to reduce IR-drop. The traditional EDA optimization routine repeats the steps such…
