Abstract. The effect of power supply noise in on-chip power grids and its implications on the path delay in digital circuits is examined. The simulation results show that IR-Drop and the resulting path delay are strongly affected by the layout of the circuit. Power grid design measures to reduce IR-Drop, as well as their area and performance implications are discussed.
