Increasing decoupling capacitance using preferential shields

摘要

An integrated circuit that preferentially shields a signal to increase decoupling capacitance is provided. The signal is preferentially shielded based on a probability of the signal being at a specific value. Further, a method for increasing an amount of decoupling capacitance on a circuit through preferential shielding is provided. Further, a method to increase system performance by increasing implicit decoupling capacitance is provided.
