A fully-integrated 40-phase flying-capacitance-dithered switched-capacitor voltage regulator with 6mV output ripple

A switched-capacitor voltage regulator (SCVR) that dithers flying capacitance (C$_textrmFLY$) to reduce output ripple is presented. The proposed technique is implemented in a 40-phase SCVR with 4b C$_textrmFLY$ modulation in 65nm CMOS. At 2.3V input, …

Swizzle Switch: A self-arbitrating high-radix crossbar for NoC systems

This article consists of a collection of slides from the author's conference presentation on Swizzle Switch networks for use in many-core systems. Some of the specific topics discussed include: the special features and design of swizzle-switch …

Swizzle-Switch Networks for Many-Core Systems

This work revisits the design of crossbar and high-radix interconnects in light of advances in circuit and layout techniques that improve crossbar scalability, obviating the need for deep multi-stage networks. We employ a new building block, the …
