Atmel collaborationIn our ongoing research collaboration with Atmel Norway, on power integrity analysis of the AVR microprocessors, we have obtained some results that are best presented as animations; thus, this special project page. Below we provide the result of a power grid simulation, as well as the master's theses by Björn Nilsson and Martin Olsson that detail different aspects of the analysis methodology and a few papers that describe parts of our analysis methodology.
If you are a master student looking for an interesting thesis proposal, contact us for project proposals. Atmel has produced a web presentation that provides not only several animations of varying power grid voltages, but also some information on the context for the simulations. The web presentation is too large (35 MB) for the CPS web system, so you need to follow this link to view the presentation.
