Abstract— Design variability due to within-die and die-todie process variations has the potential to significantly reduce the maximum operating frequency and the effective yield...
The use of nanometer technologies is making it increasingly important to consider transient characteristics of a circuit’s power dissipation (e.g., peak power, and power gradien...
timing analysis tools to replace standard deterministic static timing analyzers whereas [8,27] develop approaches for the statistical estimation of leakage power considering within...
The ability to control the variations in IC fabrication process is rapidly diminishing as feature sizes continue towards the sub-100 nm regime. As a result, there is an increasing...
