Abstract :
In this paper, we propose an adaptive on-chip equivalent series resistor (ESR) controller scheme to reduce on-chip simultaneous switching noise (SSN). The on-chip controllable ESR is adaptively changed to reduce the on-chip SSN by using the proposed scheme. Reduction of on-chip resonance and on-chip SSN is well proved through simulated results and measurements of the fabricated test chip in a 65 nm HYNIX CMOS process.
