Explicit gate delay model for timing evaluation
Delay evaluation is always a crucial concern in the VLSI design and it becomes increasingly more critical in the nowadays deep-submicron technology. To obtain an accurate delay va...

Gate sizing for large cell-based designs
—Today, many chips are designed with predefined discrete cell libraries. In this paper we present a new fast gate sizing algorithm that works natively with discrete cell choices...

Analytical model for the impact of multiple input switching noise on timing
The timing models used in current Static Timing Analysis tools use gate delays only for single input switching events. It is well known that the temporal proximity of signals arriv...

Robust gate sizing by geometric programming
We present an efficient optimization scheme for gate sizing in the presence of process variations. Using a posynomial delay model, the delay constraints are modified to incorporat...

A Geometric Programming-Based Worst Case Gate Sizing Method Incorporating Spatial Correlation
We present an efficient optimization scheme for gate sizing in the presence of process variations. Our method is a worst-case design scheme, but it reduces the pessimism involved i...
