title = "Mixed-signal noise-decoupling via simultaneous power distribution design and cell customization in rail",
abstract = "An important and largely unexplored aspect of power distribution synthesis is cell customization. Through cell customization, power I/O cell assignments and local substrate and power supply decoupling may be tailored to reduce deleterious noise effects on analog circuits in mixed-signal environments. In this paper, we describe techniques for simultaneous power grid design (topology and sizing) and cell configuration/customization which allow designers to handle more difficult chip-level noise problems. We have incorporated this new approach in the power distribution synthesis tool RAIL and demonstrate its effectiveness on an industrial mixed-signal example.",
