This paper introduces an accurate analysis of on-chip inductance effects for distributed interconnects that takes the effect of both the series resistance and the output parasitic ...
In this paper, we establish a theoretical framework for a new concept of scheduling called soft scheduling. In contrasts to the traditional schedulers referred as hard schedulers,...
Current design automation methodologies are becoming incapable of achieving design closure especially in the presence of deep submicron effects. This paper addresses the issue of ...
