This paper presents a general method for computing transient sensitivities using both the direct and adjoint methods in event driven controlled explicit simulation algorithms that...
This paper presents an analysis technique that can be used to compute the harmonic and intermodulation distortion levels of a sampled-data circuit directly from a SPICE transient ...
Transient faults in VLSI circuits could lead to disastrous consequences. With technology scaling, circuits are becoming increasingly vulnerable to transient faults. This papers pr...
The relentless push for high performance in custom digital circuits has led to renewed emphasis on circuit optimization or tuning. The parameters of the optimization are typically...
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...
