This leading-edge guide discusses the impact of power integrity from a design perspective, emphasizing phenomena and problems induced by power integrity degradation and the latest design trends, including low-power design. Power Integrity for Nanoscale Integrated Systems describes how these problems can be forecast early in the design process and the countermeasures that can be used to address them, such as the inclusion of inductance and accurate modeling for PI analysis, as well as robust circuit design. Detailed examples and a case study on the IBM POWER7+ processor illustrate real-world applications of the techniques presented in this practical resource.
