Abstract— This paper presents an allocation method of decoupling capacitance that explicitly considers timing. We have found and focused that decap does not necessarily improve a...
This paper presents a two-step, RC-interconnect insensitive linear time-varying (LTV) driver model for gate-level timing calculation. We show how to characterize a driver with the...
The Synchronous Dataflow (SDF) model of computation is popular for modelling the timing behaviour of real-time embedded hardware and software systems and applications. It is an es...
—In this paper, we present a new block budgeting algorithm which speeds up timing closure in timing driven hierarchical flows. After a brief description of the addressed flow, ...
