Title
Estimation of maximum current envelope for power bus analysis and design
Abstract
In this p ap er we pr esent an inputpattern independent method to compute the maximum current envelope, which is an upper bound over all possible curr ent waveforms drawn by a circuit. The maximum current envelope can be used to compute the worst-c ase RMS current and average cur rent dr awn by a set of gates. These current values can be used in the design of the p ower bus to ensure that the power bus interconne cts are not susc eptible to ele ctromigration (EM) induced failur e. We also present comparisons with exhaustive/long simulations for MCNC/ISCAS-85 benchmark circuits to verify the accuracy of the method.
