  • Abstract
    As device geometries shrink and power supply voltages decrease, simultaneous switching noise has increasingly detrimental effects on IC reliability. The authors investigate the worst-case conditions for SSN generated by a single switching wire and analyze the impact of transition-reducing encoding on SSN. They show that switching-pattern and layout considerations have a significant impact on TRE performance.
