—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...
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...

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...
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...
