Synthesis of Power Distribution to Manage Signal Integrity in Mixed-Signal ICs

In the early days of VLSI, the design of the power distribution for an integrated cir­ cuit was rather simple. Power distribution --the design of the geometric topology for the network of wires that connect the various power supplies, the widths of the indi­ vidual segments for each of these wires,...
