Efficient Selection and Placement of In-Package Decoupling Capacitors Using Matrix-Based Evolutionary Computation

Abstract: In the era of advanced nanotechnology where billions of transistors are fabricated in a single chip, high-speed operations are challenging due to packaging related issues. In High-Speed Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) systems, decoupling capacitors are essentially used in power delivery networks to reduce power supply noise and to maintain a low impedance of the power delivery networks. In this paper, the cumulative impedance of a power delivery network is reduced below the target impedance by using state-… Show more

“…This matrix-centric approach significantly enhances computational efficiency and strengthens the mathematical foundation of EC. At present, MEC has been successfully applied in various domains, such as integrated circuit interconnections [38], path planning [39], and function optimization [40]. However, research on MEC in feature selection is still absent, and how to make MEC solve discrete problems is still a challenge.…”

“…This study uses a practical system earlier used in [12], [16]. It's a usual practice to select capacitors based on the anti-resonance points in the PDN impedance profile and then to place them as close to the core circuit as feasible [8].…”

“…A proven time-effective optimization strategy for the decoupling capacitor optimization problem is to use the metaheuristic algorithms [11]. Matrix-based metaheuristic optimization has recently been used to speed up the process even further [12]. There are many other metaheuristic algorithms for optimization, but Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has emerged as one of the best and quickest methods to solve such problems [13], [14].…”

“…In addition, the highly compact and large number of transistors in a circuit can cause more nonlinear effects by which the amplitude of supply noise harmonics rises, eventually leading to bit failure. Therefore, maintaining signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) is very challenging in high-speed nanodevice-based circuits [7], [8], [9], [10]. The term SI and PI deals with the quality of signal and the quality of power, respectively.…”
