A fully integrated framework of full-chip power and substrate noise analysis is discussed, featuring description of transistor-level custom circuits as dynamic noise sources, a high capacity solver… (More)
Chip-level substrate coupling analysis uses F-matrix computation with slice-and-stack execution to include highly concentrated substrate resistivity gradient. The technique that has been applied to… (More)
Slice-and-stack representation of a vertical substrate impurity profile in F-matrix computation captures isolation effects of deep N-wells as well as guard rings in chip-level substrate coupling. A… (More)
A substrate-coupling equivalent circuit can be derived for an arbitrary guard ring test structure by way of F-matrix computation. The derived netlist represents a unified impedance network among… (More)
An arbitrary noise generator (ANG) is based on time-series charging of divided parasitic capacitance (TSDPC) and emulates power supply noise generation in a CMOS digital circuit. A prototype ANG… (More)
