Variability in process parameters leads to a significant parametric yield loss of high-performance ICs due to the large spread in leakage-power consumption and speed of chips. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for total power minimization under

Power gating is a very effective technique to reduce the subthreshold leakage by using sleep transistors to turn off the functional blocks or cells when they are not used. When the sleep transistors are turned on, the power grid may experience a huge

In addition to traditional constraints on frequency, leakage current has emerged as a stringent constraint in modern processor designs. Since leakage current exhibits a strong inverse correlation with circuit delay, effective parametric yield predict

Leakage current is a stringent constraint in today's ASIC designs. Effective parametric yield prediction must consider leakage current's dependence on chip frequency. The authors propose an analytical expression that includes both subthreshold and ga

For optimizations like physical synthesis and static timing analysis, efficient interconnect delay and slew computation is critical. Since one cannot often afford to run asymptotic waveform evaluation (Pillage and Rohrer, 1990), constant time solutio

Recent years have seen significant research in finding closed form expressions for the delay of an RC circuit that improves upon the Elmore delay model. However, several of these formulae assume a step excitation, leaving it to the reader to find a s

Interconnect synthesis techniques, such as wire sizing and buffer insertion/sizing, have proven to be critical for reducing interconnect delays in deep submicron design. Consequently, the past few years have seen several works that study buffer inser

Interconnect-driven optimization is an increasingly important step in high-performance design. Algorithms for buffer insertion have been successfully utilized to reduce delay in global interconnect paths; however, existing techniques only optimize de
