  • Voltage supply noise analysis
    Patent number: 7403885
    Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing voltage supply noise analysis for electronic circuits are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment a computer program product executes a computer process. The computer process generates at least one spatial profile for the electronic circuit, generates at least one temporal profile for the electronic circuit, merges the at least one temporal profile and the at least one spatial profile, and determines if the electronic circuit is operating within acceptable voltage noise margins based on the merged temporal and spatial profiles.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 5, 2004
    Date of Patent: July 22, 2008
    Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
    Inventors: Aaron Keiichi Horiuchi, Clark Douglas Burnside, Stephen LaMar Dixon, David Paul Hannum, Justin Allan Coppin
