IR
When a metal wire is subjected to a voltage, an electric current begins to pass through it. This flow of current encounters resistance within the wire, resulting in a reduction in voltage (as per Ohm's Law). This reduction is commonly referred to as IR drop. The process of examining the reasons behind this voltage drop and resolving any associated problems is known as IR drop analysis. The objective of this analysis is to ensure that all components in the design receive the necessary operating voltage. Additionally, it serves as one of the criteria for approving ASIC designs.
