What would be the conductor width of power and ground wires to a 50 MHz clock buffer that drives 100pF of on-chip load to satisfy the metal-migration consideration(JAL=0.5mA/μm)? What is the ground bounce with chosen conductor size? The module is 500 μm from both the power and ground pads and the supply voltage is 5 volts. The rise/fall time of clock is 1ns.(Assume sheet resistance of wire = 0.05 Ω/sq).
