Capturing the phantom of the power grid - on the runtime adaptive techniques for noise reduction |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
Power supply noise has become one of the primary concerns in low power designs. To ensure power integrity, designers need to make sure that voltage droop and bounce do not exceed noise margin in all possible scenarios. Since it is very difficult to capture the exact worst corner among the mist of complex functionalities in modern VLSI designs, statistical design methodologies have been adapted, which may bring significant design overhead. In view of this, various runtime techniques have been proposed in literature to suppress power grid noise adaptively. This paper first presents various challenges in power grid designs from an industrial perspective, explains the difficulties in handling them at deign time, and then reviews various runtime techniques to adaptively suppress power supply noise, including sensor-based power gating, re-routable decaps, proactive clock frequency actuator, and PLL based clocking. |
