The reliability of ADCs used in highly critical systems can be increased by applying a two-step procedure starting with sensitivity analysis followed by redesign. The sensitivity ...
— The inductive characteristics of several types of gridded power distribution networks are described in this paper. The inductance extraction program FastHenry is used to evalua...
This paper introduces a new global-tier interconnect scaling scheme which ensures that inductance effects do not start dominating the overall interconnect performance. It is shown...
The design methods and the automation of the comparator circuit layout generation for a flash A/D converter are presented in this paper. The threshold inverter quantization (TIQ)...
This paper presents a methodology for the statistical analysis of clock tree structures. It allows to accurately predict and analyze the impact of process variation on clock skew....
