Behavioural modelingMASTSaber-VerilogHSPICEMixed-signal ASICSimulationDuring the last 10 years, the use of computer simulation at IC level has become prevalent in the design process. As the size of designs has increased rapidly the same simulations have become progressively more difficult to perform, ...
A behavioural modelthat combines theperformance andvariation fora given circuit topology is developed which canbeusedtooptimise thesystem level structure. Theapproach enables top-down system optimisation, notonlyfor performance butalso foryield. Themodelhasbeendeveloped in Verilog-A andtested extensively ...
