Formal verification of analog circuits in the presence of noise and process variation

We model and verify analog designs in the presence of noise and process variation using an automated theorem prover, MetiTarski. Due to the statistical nature of noise, we propose to use stochastic differential equations (SDE) to model the designs. We find a closed form solution for the SDEs, then integrate the device variation due to the 0.18
