We present an efficient and accurate gate sizing tool that employs a novel piecewise convex delay model, handling both rise and fall delays, for static CMOS gates. The delay model...
─ In this paper, we present Forge, an optimal algorithm for gate sizing using the Elmore delay model. The algorithm utilizes Lagrangian relaxation with a fast gradient-based pre-...
We consider the problem of transistor sizing in a static CMOS layout to minimizethe power consumption of the circuit subject to a given delay constraint. Based on our characteriza...
