SAT (Boolean satisfiability) has become the primary Boolean reasoning engine for many EDA applications, so the efficiency of SAT solving is of great practical importance. Recently...
- The large magnitude of supply/ground bounces, which arise from power mode transitions in power gating structures, may cause spurious transitions in a circuit. This can result in ...
This paper presents an efficient hierarchical 3D capacitance extraction algorithm -- ICCAP. Most previous capacitance extraction algorithms introduce intermediate variables to fac...
This paper presents a novel repeater insertion algorithm for the power minimization of realistic interconnect trees under given timing budgets. Our algorithm judiciously combines ...
Trajectory methods sample the state trajectory of a circuit as it simulates in the time domain, and build macromodels by reducing and interpolating among the linearizations create...
