We present techniques for improving the accuracy of geometric-programming (GP) based analog circuit design optimization. We describe major sources of discrepancies between the res...
Abstract—Interconnects (wires, buffers, clock distribution networks, multiplexers and busses) consume a significant fraction of total circuit power. In this work, we demonstrat...
