In this paper, we present a new technique for calculating the output waveform of CMOS drivers for cross-coupled RC loads. The proposed technique is based on an effective capacitan...
Capacitance coupling can have a significant impact on gate delay in today's deep submicron circuits. In this paper we present a static timing analysis tool that calculates th...
We propose a method to capture crosstalk-induced noisy waveform for crosstalk-aware static timing analysis. The effects of capacitive coupling noise on timing are conventionally m...
With the exponential reduction in the scaling of feature size, inter-wire coupling capacitance becomes the dominant part of load capacitance. Two problems are introduced by coupli...
We study gate delay variation caused by crosstalk aggressor alignment, i.e., difference of signal arrival times in coupled neighboring interconnects. This effect is as significan...
