The clock rate of modern chips is still increasing and at the same time the gate size decreases. As a result, already slight variations during the production process may cause a f...
In this paper, a new type of Petri net called Hierarchical Colored Hardware Petri net, to model real-delay switching activity for power estimation is proposed. The logic circuit i...
— As technology scales into the sub-90nm domain, manufacturing variations become an increasingly significant portion of circuit delay. As a result, delays must be modeled as sta...

—Interconnect inductance introduces a shielding effect which decreases the effective capacitance seen by the driver of a circuit, reducing the gate delay. A model of the effectiv...
‡ Physical and generic models that analytically couple the array architecture of CMOS SRAMs with the wire lengths and fan-outs along critical paths to decode and sense data are r...
