Transient simulation of power-supply noise in irregular on-chip power distribution networks using latency insertion method, and causal transient simulation of interconnects characterized by band-limited data and terminated by arbitrary terminations

Power distribution networks (PDNs) are conducting structures employed in semiconductor systems with the aim of providing circuits with reliable and constant operating voltage. This network has non-neglible electrical parasitics. Consequently, when digital circuits inside the chip switch, the supply...
