Power planning

There are power rings around memories,

There is a grid of horizantal stripes and vertical power stipσ το connect those... a big fat power rings on the perimeter of the chip...

power power everywhere. !! we need it :) :)
 
Re: Power planning

Hi!!!
The power ring is routed around digital chip, black box.
Stripes - vertical and horizontal continuation of power ring for improvement of
current flow.
 

Re: Power planning

We normally define power rail as VDD and VSS/GND.Each metal ring/stripe pertains to these two are called power rail
 

Re: Power planning

Power pad could be also an exposed pad, usually used for heatsink removal.
It's connected to ground and must be well designed with a lot of vias connecting GND planes on every layer involved in design.
 

Re: Power planning

Hi, i' ve been working with power planning in the past months. There is a good tutorial for power planning that explains what you need at **broken link removed** (it is for Cadence Encounter but has screenshot's of rings, stripes, etc..) I hope it will help.
