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...

Timing-driven placement based on monotone cell ordering constraints
− In this paper, we present a new timing-driven placement algorithm, which attempts to minimize zigzags and crisscrosses on the timing-critical paths of a circuit. We observed th...
