—With the scaling of complementary metal–oxide– semiconductor (CMOS) technology into the nanometer regime, the overshooting effect due to the input-to-output coupling capacit...
An efficient frequency-based clock analysis method: CSAV is proposed in this paper. It computes the circuit response by first solving the state equation in frequency domain, and...
This paper presents a statistic-based approach for evaluating the testability of nodes in combinational circuits. This testability measurement is obtained via Monte Carlo simulati...
Timing margin (slack) needs to be carefully managed to ensure a satisfactory timing yield. We propose a new design flow that combines a false-path-aware gate sizing and a statisti...
