In this paper, we consider verifying properties of mixed-signal circuits, i.e., circuits for which there is an interaction between analog (continuous) and digital (discrete) values...
Chips manufactured in 90 nm technology have shown large parametric variations, and a worsening trend is predicted. These parametric variations make circuit optimization difficult ...
