2 Juan-Antonio Carballo EDP 2004 Introduction! Signal integrity First-order concern in System-on-a-Chip (SoC) design! SoC methodologies need to be fundamentally transformed Must develop techniques to enhance block reuse while accounting for signal integrity! Reuse standards work can help achieve this goal Virtual Socket Interface Alliance (VSIA) " focus on reuse Signal Integrity (SI) sub-working group " focus on SI in SoC Work integrates with SoC methodologies and enhances block reuse

3 Juan-Antonio Carballo EDP 2004 Example " Power Grid Issues Package Grid Current + V DD Decoupling Capacitance Load time! With package, maximum noise becomes: V max l µ t p R g + µl µ R 2 g C d (1 e -t p/τ ) DC Package Decap
