On-Chip Power Delivery and Management (4^th Ed., Softcover reprint of the original 4th ed. 2016)

This book describes methods for distributing power in high speed, high complexity integrated circuits with power levels exceeding many tens of watts and power supplies below a volt. It provides a broad and cohesive treatment of power delivery and management systems and related design problems, including both circuit network models and design techniques for on-chip decoupling capacitors, providing insight and intuition into the behavior and design of on-chip power distribution systems.   Organized into subareas to provide a more intuitive flow to the reader, this fourth edition adds more than a hundred pages of new content, including inductance models for interdigitated structures, design strategies for multi-layer power grids, advanced methods for efficient power grid design and analysis, and methodologies for simultaneously placing on-chip multiple power supplies and decoupling capacitors. The emphasis of this additional material is on managing the complexity of on-chip power distribution networks.

Eby G. Friedman was born in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1957. He received the B. S. degree from Lafayette College, Easton, Pennsylvania in 1979, and the M. S. and Ph. D. degrees from the University of California, Irvine, in 1981 and 1989, respectively, all in electrical engineering.
He was with Philips Gloeilampen Fabrieken, Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in 1978 where he worked on the design of bipolar differential amplifiers. From 1979 to 1983, he was employed by Hughes Aircraft Company, Newport Beach, California, working in the areas of custom IC design, software compatible gate array design, one- and two-dimensional device modeling, circuit modeling, and double level metal process development. From 1983 to 1991, he was employed at Hughes Aircraft Company, Carlsbad, California, rising to the position of Manager of the Signal Processing Design and Test Department, responsible for the design and test of high performance VLSI/VHSIC CMOS and BIMOS digital and analog IC's, the development of supporting design and test methodologies and CAD tools, functional and parametric test, and the development of high performance and high resolution DSP and oversampled systems.

Dr. Friedman has been with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Rochester, Rochester, New York, since 1991, where he is a Distinguished Professor and Director of the High Performance VLSI/IC Design and Analysis Laboratory. He previously was the Director of the Center for Electronic Imaging Systems. He is also a Visiting Professor at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. He also directs the Technion Advanced Circuits Research Center (ACRC). His current research and teaching interests are in high performance synchronous digital and mixed-signal microelectronic design and analysis with application to high speed portable processors and low power wireless communications.

He has authored twelve book chapters and many papers in the fields of high spee
