Abstract
Various implementations described herein are directed to an integrated circuit having a power gate cell and a first power distribution grid. The integrated circuit may include a second power distribution grid aligned with and disposed above the power gate cell. The second power distribution grid may be disposed between the power gate cell and the first power distribution grid.
Claims20
An integrated circuit, comprising:
- a power gate cell;
- a first power distribution grid;
- and
- a second power distribution grid aligned with and disposed above the power gate cell, wherein the second power distribution grid is disposed between the power gate cell and the first power distribution grid.
