Abstract — This paper defines a new diagnosis problem for diagnosing delay defects based upon statistical timing models. We illustrate the differences between the delay defect d...
We present an equation-based transistor size optimizer that minimizes delay of custom circuits. Our method uses static timing analysis to find the critical paths and numerical met...
