Power supply noise induced jitter (PSIJ) is one of the critical bottlenecks for I/O signal performance. Good power distribution network (PDN) is a must for high-end system designs. Due to design limitation in die and package, providing sufficient on-die capacitor (ODC) or on-package capacitor (OPD) is a very challenging task. This paper presents a novel on-die decoupling scheme which places decoupling caps in core area and connects to I/O area by package interconnects. The presented method is applied to DDR interface in med-end FPGA devices. Excellent SSN improvement is achieved by implementing this scheme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
