We consider the estimation of the order, i.e., the number of hidden states, of a special class of discrete-time finite-alphabet hidden Markov sources. This class can be characteriz...
—Variations of process parameters have an important impact on reliability and yield in deep sub micron IC technologies. One methodology to estimate the influence of these effects...
Abstract—Manufacturing process variations lead to circuit timing variability and a corresponding timing yield loss. Traditional corner analysis consists of checking all process c...
We study diagnosis of segments on speedpaths that fail the timing constraint at the post-silicon stage due to manufacturing variations. We propose a formal procedure that is appli...
