Power supply noise and related issues have become critical for designs at 90nm and below due to the combination of several factors. Timing slowdown and functional failures are becoming common in these ...

A number of technical challenges have come together to make power grid design one of the most challenging design issues today. Creating the right power grid is a growing problem in leading-edge chips.

Obtaining reliable data from electric utilities about magnitude and duration of single-phase, line-to-ground fault currents at the service entrance of commercial and industrial facilities is of ...

Svinningegaarden, a 33.9MWp project on Zeeland (pictured), was one of the first projects in Europe to deploy new large-format 540Wp bifacial modules from LONGi. Image: European Energy. Jan Vedde, ...

To the extent that the popular media understands the Smart Grid at all, it’s seen in terms of “smart meters” that are going to, say, let the utilities turn off consumers’ clothes dryers. Yet it really ...

A recent trend confusing two quite different terms has had a huge negative impact on the yield, reliability, and manufacturability of DSM (deep-submicron) and subwavelength semiconductor designs. This ...

Set-Top-Box(STB) SoC designs are extremely complex with multi-million standard cells, higher core utilization of around 70-80 %, and multiple clock domains including high and low frequencies. An ...
