Concurrent analysis techniques for data path timing optimization

Many techniques have been proposed to optimize digital system timing. Each technique can be advantageous in particular applications, however they are most often applied individually rather than concurrently. The framework presented here allows for ...

Circuit timing is becoming more and more uncertain under greater process variation as technology scales. Given the fault probability of each timing path and their statistical correlation from a statistical timing framework, the path selection problem ...

The false path problem is often referred to as the problem of detecting the longest sensitizable path (A path which is not a false path is a sensitizable path). The term “false path” is not clearly defined. In this paper, we first give a clear and ...
