Low Power tip of the week: Power switch cells

archive
archive over 18 years ago

Here's this week's Low Power tip of the week:

Power switch cells: Make sure you ask your library provider if the switch cells (power gating cells) they provide are for column-style power switch insertion, or ring-style power switch insertion. Usually these two types of power gating cells are different! Some libraries may have both the column-style power switches and the ring-style power switches.

Feel free to post questions/comments on this...
