Abstract:The design of circuits which are robust against variations in operating and process conditions is crucial in today's IC industry. In the analog design°ow this problem can be tackled during the sizing of a new circuit. However, hardly any methods are available which support the designer to compute such a robust design if discrete parameters should be considered in this design step. Discrete parameters arise predominantly if a layout-friendly sizing should be computed in the sense that, e.g., a manufacturing gri… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
