A statistical model for the purpose of logic cell timing analysis in the presence of process variations is presented. A new current-based cell delay model is utilized, which can a...
— With the transition to deep submicron technologies the density of on-chip interconnect lines has increased, together with the switching rate of the signals propagating along th...
In signal integrity analysis, the joint effect of propagated noise through library cells, and of the noise injected on a quiet net by neighboring switching nets through coupling c...
—With the scaling of complementary metal–oxide– semiconductor (CMOS) technology into the nanometer regime, the overshooting effect due to the input-to-output coupling capacit...
Interconnect-driven optimization is an increasingly important step in high-performance design. Algorithms for buffer insertion have been successfully utilized to reduce delay in gl...
