Due to increased variability trends in nanoscale integrated circuits, statistical circuit analysis has become essential. We present a novel method for post-silicon analysis that g...
Abstract— This paper proposes a technique for creating a combinational logic network with an output that signals when all other outputs have stabilized. The method is based on du...

Our goal is to transform a low-level circuit design into a more representation. A pre-existing tool, Tranalyze [4], takes a switch-level circuit and generates a functionally equiv...
The relentless push for high performance in custom digital circuits has led to renewed emphasis on circuit optimization or tuning. The parameters of the optimization are typically...
of a direct implementation of this criterion. This paper presents the first critical path finding tool based on the exact criterion. It offers therefore better results in compariso...
