Efficient system-level design is increasingly relying on hierarchical design-space exploration, as well as compositional methods, to shorten time-to-market, leverage design re-use...
— With continued scaling, reliability is emerging as a critical challenge for the designers of digital circuits. The challenge stems in part from the lack of computationally efï¬...
New placement techniques are presented which substantially improve the process of automatic layout generation of analog IC's. Extremely tight specifications can be enforced o...
In this paper, a simulation-based synthesis tool, AMIGO, for analog cell sizing is presented. AMIGO is based upon genetic optimization techniques adapted to circuit sizing. A fram...
With increasing process variation, binning has become an important technique to improve the values of fabricated chips, especially in high performance microprocessors where transpa...
