An effective method for focusing optimization effort on the most important parts of a design is to examine those elements on the critical path. Traditionally, the critical path is...

We propose a false-path-aware statistical timing analysis framework. In our framework, cell as well as interconnect delays are assumed to be correlated random variables. Our tool ...
Abstract. In this paper we discuss the concept of space-time diagrams as a representation of the execution of an application, and then give a method, based on critical path analysi...
The electrostatic discharge (ESD) problem has become a challenging reliability issue in nanometer circuit design. High voltages resulted from ESD might cause high current densitie...
