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...

ct Static timing analysis has traditionally used the PERT method for identifying the critical path of a digital circuit. Due to the influence of the slope of a signal at a particul...

Statistical static timing analysis (SSTA) has been a popular research topic in recent years. A fundamental issue with applying SSTA in practice today is the lack of reliable and e...
We present an efficient and accurate gate sizing tool that employs a novel piecewise convex delay model, handling both rise and fall delays, for static CMOS gates. The delay model...
- One of the critical issues in MTCMOS design is how to estimate a circuit delay quickly. In this paper, we propose a delay modeling and static timing analysis (STA) methodology ta...
