A unified approach to fault simulation for FGDs is introduced. Instead of a direct fault simulation, the proposed approach calculates indirectly from the simulator output the set...
A new approach in hierarchical optimisation is presented which is capable of optimising both the performance and yield of an analogue design. Performance and yield trade offs are ...
This paper presents a layout generation tool that aims to reduce the gap between electrical sizing and physical realization of high performance analog circuits. The procedural lay...
—On-chip power distribution grids with multiple supply voltages are discussed in this paper. Two types of interdigitated and paired power distribution grids with multiple supply ...
