An effective method for focusing optimization effort on the most important parts of a design is to examine those elements on the critical path. Traditionally, the critical path is...

Abstract--Power analysis early in the design cycle is critical for the design of lowpower systems. With the move to system-level specifications and design methodologies, there has ...
Abstract-- The operational characteristics of integrated circuits based on nanoscale semiconductor technology are expected to be increasingly affected by variations in the manufact...
We propose a false-path-aware statistical timing analysis framework. In our framework, cell as well as interconnect delays are assumed to be correlated random variables. Our tool ...
of a direct implementation of this criterion. This paper presents the first critical path finding tool based on the exact criterion. It offers therefore better results in compariso...
