A non-iterative model for switching window computation with crosstalk noise

Abstract

Proper modeling of the switching windows leads to a better estimate of the noise induced delay variations. The present paper proposes a new continous switching window model. This new model is combined with an ordering technique that avoids convergence and multiple solution issues in the fixed point iteration methods. Experimental results show that our new model can achieve 2-3x times speedup over the fixed point iteration methods, and provide better simulation results than the discrete models and the event-driven based method.
