Transient Signal Analysis (TSA) is a parametric device testing technique based on the analysis of dynamic (transient) current (iDDT) drawn by the core logic from the power supply ...
—As transistor feature sizes continue to shrink into the sub-90nm range and beyond, the effects of process variations on critical path delay and chip yields have amplified. A com...
The wire sizing problem under inequality Elmore delay constraints is known to be posynomial, hence convex under an exponential variable-transformation. There are formal methods fo...
A cache access time model, PRACTICS (PRedictor of Access and Cycle TIme for Cache Stack), has been developed to optimize the memory array architecture for the minimum access and c...
