500+ MHz designs using deep-submicron (DSM) copper interconnects require accurate and efficient modeling of cladding-metals’ frequency-dependent impedance [1]. In this paper, fo...
Small, embedded integrated circuits (ICs) such as smart cards are vulnerable to so-called side-channel attacks (SCAs). The attacker can gain information by monitoring the power co...
—In this paper, we present an approach to nonlinear model reduction based on representing a nonlinear system with a piecewise-linear system and then reducing each of the pieces w...
— As clock frequencies exceed giga-Hertz, the extra power loss due to conductor surface roughness in interconnects and packagings is more evident and thus demands a proper accou...
We study how the dependence of a simulation output on an uncertain parameter can be determined, when simulations are computationally expensive and so can only be run for very few p...
