We propose a false-path-aware statistical timing analysis framework. In our framework, cell as well as interconnect delays are assumed to be correlated random variables. Our tool ...
At very high frequencies, the major potential of asynchronous circuits is absence of clock skew and, through that, better exploitation of relative timing relations. This paper pre...

A new algorithm is presented that combines performance and variation objectives in a behavioural model for a given analogue circuit topology and process. The tradeoffs between per...

As interconnect feature sizes continue to scale to smaller dimensions, long interconnect can dominate the IC timing performance, but the interconnect parameter variations make it ...

Abstract— This paper presents a power grid analyzer that combines a divide-and-conquer strategy with a random-walk engine. A single-level hierarchical method is first described ...
