What is IR drop?
The drop in supply voltage reaching a circuit because current (I) flows through the resistance (R) of the power wiring. It increases delay and can cause malfunctions.
Field: Interconnect processes
IR drop in the explanations
Power wiring has resistance, so current I through it drops I × R, lowering the voltage reaching circuits—IR drop.
