This monograph presents our recent research on Simultaneous Switching Noise (SSN) and related issues for CMOS based systems. Although some SSN related work was previously reported in the literature, it were mainly for Emitter Coupled Logic (ECL) gates using Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs). This present work covers in-depth analysis on estimating SSN and its impact for CMOS based devices and systems. At present semiconductor industries are moving towards scaled CMOS devices and reduced supply voltage. SSN together with coupled noise may limit the packing density, and thereby the frequency...
