Modeling and Architectural Simulations of the Statistical Static Timing Analysis of the Non-Gaussian Variation Sources for VLSI Circuits
As CMOS technology scales down, process variation introduces significant uncertainty in power and performance to VLSI circuits and significantly affects their reliability. Although Static-Timing Analysis (STA) it is an excellent tool, but current trends in process scaling have imposed significant difficulties to STA. As one of the promising solutions, Statistical static timing analysis (SSTA) h...
متن کاملCorrelation-Preserved Non-Gaussian Statistical Timing Analysis with Quadratic
Recent study shows that the existing first order canonical timing model is not sufficient to represent the dependency of the gate delay on the variation sources when processing and operational variations become more and more significant. Due to the nonlinearity of the mapping from variation sources to the gate/wire delay, the distribution of the delay is no longer Gaussian even if the variation...
متن کاملSpice Compatible Model for Multiple Coupled Nonuniform Transmission Lines Application in Transient Analysis of VLSI Circuits
An SPICE compatible model for multiple coupled nonuniform lossless transmission lines (TL's) is presented. The method of the modeling is based on the steplines approximation of the nonuniform TLs and quasi-TEM assumptions. Using steplines approximation the system of coupled nonuniform TLs is subdivided into arbitrary large number of coupled uniform lines (steplines) with different characteristi...
متن کاملParameterized Block-Based Non-Gaussian Variational Gate Timing Analysis
As technology scales down, timing verification of digital integrated circuits becomes an extremely difficult task due to the gate and wire variability. Therefore, statistical timing analysis (denoted by σTA) is becoming unavoidable. In this paper, two new approaches for doing statistical gate timing analysis for Gaussian and non-Gaussian sources of variation in block-based σTA are presented. To...
متن کاملProposal of Metrics for SSTA Accuracy Evaluation
With the recent advance of process technology shrinking, process parameter variation has become one of the major issues in SoC designs, especially for timing convergence. Recently, Statistical Static Timing Analysis (SSTA) has been proposed as a promising solution to consider the process parameter variation but it has not been widely used yet. For estimating the delay yield, designers have to k...
