Temperature and Voltage Aware Timing Analysis: Application to Voltage Drops

Abstract: In the nanometer era, the physical verification of CMOS digital circuit becomes a complex task. Designers must account of new factors that impose a significant change in validation methods. One of these major changes in timing verification to handle process variation lies in the progressive development of statistical static timing engines. However the statistical approach cannot capture accurately the deterministic variations of both the voltage and temperature variations. Therefore, we define a novel method, … Show more

“…Graph-based techniques use toggle rates and statistical methods to find critical paths [11] [30]. Other attempts to incorporate voltage drop [31] by annotating precalculated voltages on STA or considers supply voltage as a global variable [32]. They lead to better results and miss the dynamically generated effects of the simulation and their interdependence, which are highly input pattern dependent.…”

“…A simple model for calculating transistor sizes of an asynchronous control circuits with circular paths is shown in [4]. Reference [5] introduces an extension of the variation is introduced in [6] and its application to FPGA interconnect driver sizing is well discussed in [7]. Logical Effort Model has shortcomings in designing a path for minimum area or power under a fixed-delay constraint [8].…”
