Advanced Symbolic Analysis For Vlsi Systems

Download or read book Advanced Symbolic Analysis for VLSI Systems written by Guoyong Shi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-06-19 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides comprehensive coverage of the recent advances in symbolic analysis techniques for design automation of nanometer VLSI systems. The presentation is organized in parts of fundamentals, basic implementation methods and applications for VLSI design. Topics emphasized include statistical timing and crosstalk analysis, statistical and parallel analysis, performance bound analysis and behavioral modeling for analog integrated circuits. Among the recent advances, the Binary Decision Diagram (BDD) based approaches are studied in depth. The BDD-based hierarchical symbolic analysis approaches, have essentially broken the analog circuit size barrier.
