This paper proposes a scheme that captures diverse input waveforms of CMOS gates for static timing analysis. Conventionally the latest arrival time and transition time are calcula...
Due to technology scaling and increasing clock frequency, problems due to noise effects lead to an increase in design/debugging efforts and a decrease in circuit performance. This...
Capacitance coupling can have a significant impact on gate delay in today's deep submicron circuits. In this paper we present a static timing analysis tool that calculates th...
Process variations have become a key concern of circuit designers because of their significant, yet hard to predict impact on performance and signal integrity of VLSI circuits. St...
A technique to derive test vectors that exercise the worstcase delay effects in a domino circuit in the presence of crosstalk is described. A model for characterizing the delay of...
