Abstract
The clocked storage elements and local clocking circuitry for the POWER7TM chip, in 45 nm SOI CMOS technology, include special features for enhanced reliability, testability, and debug capability. Multiple design options, including capacitance-optimized multi-bit layouts, allow for fine-grained power/performance tuning.
