ACRC Cours// On-chip Power Delivery Networks- Dr Alexander Svetlitza

Design of a stable, high-quality on-chip power distribution network is complicated and expensive. In this course, you will be introduced to the basic components of common power delivery systems. The problems of electromigration and IR drop, and the effect of on-chip decoupling capacitance will be discussed. We will explore the complexity and challenges in designing and modeling the on-chip power delivery grid, and will present common methods used in the industry today. Finally, future challenges and maturing technologies will be presented.

Dr Alexander Svetlitza completed a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the Technion in 2015. Since then, Alexander worked on Power Network Integrity in Amazon (AWS), Apple Silicon and Marvell Semiconductor.
