A 21-term polynomial equation is described which accurately predicts the number of ground and V/sub cc/ pins required for a given design as nonlinear functions of the number of outputs switching simultaneously, the number of active outputs which are not switching, the ground or V/sub cc/ noise levels allowed, the package pin inductances and transmission line characteristics of the loads. The accuracy and flexibility of this technique is contrasted with traditional, less sophisticated methods.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":354289,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Seventh Annual IEEE International ASIC Conference and Exhibit","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114729887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
