Performance trade-off analysis of analog circuits by normal-boundary intersection
We present a new technique to examine the trade-off regions of a circuit where its competing performances become “simultaneously optimal”, i.e. Pareto optimal. It is based on ...

TIGUAN: Thread-Parallel Integrated Test Pattern Generator Utilizing Satisfiability ANalysis
We present the automatic test pattern generator TIGUAN based on a thread-parallel SAT solver. Due to a tight integration of the SAT engine into the ATPG algorithm and a carefully ...

Worst-case circuit delay taking into account power supply variations
Current Static Timing Analysis (STA) techniques allow one to verify the timing of a circuit at different process corners which only consider cases where all the supplies are low o...

A fully polynomial time approximation scheme for timing driven minimum cost buffer insertion
As VLSI technology enters the nanoscale regime, interconnect delay has become the bottleneck of the circuit timing. As one of the most powerful techniques for interconnect optimiz...

Large-Scale Circuit Placement: Gap and Promise
Placement is one of the most important steps in the RTLto-GDSII synthesis process, as it directly defines the interconnects, which have become the bottleneck in circuit and syste...
