Potential Slack: An Effective Metric of Combinational Circuit Performance
This paper proposes the concept of potential slack and show it is an effective metric of combinational circuit performance. We provide several methods for estimating potential sla...

Circuit optimization using statistical static timing analysis
In this paper, we propose a new sensitivity based, statistical gate sizing method. Since circuit optimization effects the entire shape of the circuit delay distribution, it is dif...
