Operating frequency of a pipelined circuit is determined by the delay of the slowest pipeline stage. However, under statistical delay variation in sub-100nm technology regime, the...
Recent study shows that the existing first order canonical timing model is not sufficient to represent the dependency of the gate delay on the variation sources when processing an...

This paper describes a novel modeling methodology for electrothermal effects in large mixed-signal circuits. It is accomplished by developing analog event-driven electrothermal an...
Abstract. The paper proposes a simulation-based method for validating analog and mixed-signal circuits, using the hybrid systems methodology. This method builds upon RRT (Rapidly-e...
We present a new gate-level approach to current simulation. We use a symbolic model of current pulses that takes accurately into account the dependence on the switching conditions...
