Advanced clock-delayed1 and self-resetting domino circuits are becoming increasingly important design styles in aggressive synchronous as well as asynchronous design. Their design...
Statistical static timing analysis (SSTA) has emerged as an essential tool for nanoscale designs. Monte Carlo methods are universally employed to validate the accuracy of the appr...
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...
Modeling the effect of coupling noise on circuit delay is a key issue in static timing analysis (STA) and involves the “victimaggressor alignment” problem. As delay-noise depe...
