Circuit optimization via adjoint Lagrangians
The circuit tuning problem is best approached by means of gradient-based nonlinear optimization algorithms. For large circuits, gradient computation can be the bottleneck in the o...

Decoupling capacitance allocation for timing with statistical noise model and timing analysis
Abstract— This paper presents an allocation method of decoupling capacitance that explicitly considers timing. We have found and focused that decap does not necessarily improve a...

Adjoint-Based Optimal Control of the Expected Exit Time for Stochastic Hybrid Systems
Abstract. In this paper, we study the problem of controlling the expected exit time from a region for a class of stochastic hybrid systems. That is, we find the least costly feedb...

Timing-Aware Decoupling Capacitance Allocation in Power Distribution Networks
Power supply noise increases the circuit delay, which may lead to performance failure of a design. Decoupling capacitance (decap) addition is effective in reducing the power suppl...
