MotivationPower is increasing (hot plates, nuclear reactors etc…).
VDD is decreasing (VTH decreasing slower to manage leakage).
Frequency is increasing.Dynamic and static IDD are increasing (electromigration!).
IR and Ldi/dt noise becoming a larger part of the total noise budget.Impact of VDD variation on delay is increasing.
(Because of reduced overdrive VDD-VTH)
Understanding the origins and trends of supply induced noise becoming critical.

Grid CapacitanceCapacitance ~ 1/distance.
Distance scale for power grid is in the range of 10µm.
Distance scale for device capacitance is in the range of TOX ~ 20nm.
Capacitance “density” of devices makes grid capacitance unimportant.

Power Grid Design TrendsNumber of levels of metal is increasing.
More degrees of freedom for tradeoff between interconnect and power.More effort in grid design.
Cu and advanced CMP processes place more design restrictions on wires.
Example: maximum width, metal density, oxide density within metal area, etc…
Number of package power pins for high power chips increasing (fixed Imax per pin).

Power Grid Design IssuesPower Grid impacts implementation of every component at the PD level.Placement of power-hungry devices (I/O buffers, clocks, etc…).Placement and allocation of decoupling capacitors to minimize noise.“Interface” between incompatible power distributions costly in routing resources.
It is not unthinkable to use 15 to 20% of wiring resources for power distribution.

Buffer Placement AlgorithmICECS ‘00 paper (J. Kozhaya et. al.)
A greedy heuristic technique.Idea: Use sensitivity information to place I/O buffers one at a time while satisfying drop thresholds.The A-1 (system matrix) provides sensitivity of voltage drops to placement of I/O buffers.
I/O buffers only appear in the RHS of the system of linear equations!
![Page 24: Technology Trends in Power-Grid-Induced Noisesliponline.org/SLIP02/session2/nassif.pdf · 3 Motivation Power is increasing (hot plates, nuclear reactors etc…). V DD is decreasing](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042806/5f73d80ed3df304129739d28/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Algorithm Description1. Sort I/O buffers and initialize drop slacks.2. For buffer Bk, compute upper bounds on the
allowable current at every node ni which is a potential placement site.
3. Assign buffer Bk to node nm where nm is the node with the largest upper bound.
4. Update the drop slack at all nodes:s(j) = s(j) – ajm
-1 Ik, ≤j
5. If s(j) < 0, report a violation at node nj.6. Continue at step 2 with the next buffer.

Power Grid PlanningPower grid is usually designed BEFOREdetailed implementation has started.
Predefined “Image” for ASIC or SOC implementations.“Tile” based image for custom ICs.
Grid is defined at a time when the spatial information about power requirements is approximate, therefore rampant overdesign!

Typical questions:Can a grid with X% density handle P watts per square mm?How much decoupling capacitance does an I/O buffer need? How close does it need to be?How much do I gain by introducing skew?

Open IssuesCoupling of power and timing results.
Some early results, but nothing real yet!
Fast modeling and prediction of chip/package resonance.
Approximations OK, but better numerical analysis can make results more accurate.
Vector-less Chip-level power estimation.Most design flows are not yet focused on power. Need a method to jumpstart power analysis.
Coupling of power and thermal results + impact on reliability.
Same math, same inputs…

Low Hanging FruitImproved modeling of load currents and decoupling capacitance.
Holistic rationalization of accuracy requirements.
Integration of placement aspects of PD with power grid analysis.
Moving loads around can be done very efficiently (new RHS and forward/backward solver of existing LU factors).
Use of sparse inductance formulations to speed up chip/package analysis.
Reuse of existing simulation infrastructure.
