Abstract— The analysis of effects induced by interconnects become increasingly important as the scale of process technologies steadily shrinks. While most analyses focus on the t...
Early circuit performance estimation and easy-to-apply methods for minimum-delay gate sizing are needed, in order to enhance circuit’s performance and to increase designers’ pr...
—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...
In this paper the problem of accommodating particular analog system models, with emphasis on interconnection's representation, with discrete event simulators, and particularl...
In performance-driven interconnect design, delay estimators are used to determine both the topology and the layout of good routing trees. We address the class of moment-matching, ...
