Although progress has been made in understanding the phenomenon, there still remain significant gaps, both in its fundamental theory and in numerical techniques for its characterisation. In this paper, we develop a solid foundation for phase noise that is valid for any oscillator, regardless of operating mechanism. We establish novel results about the dynamics of stable nonlinear oscillators in the presence of perturbations, both deterministic and random. We obtain an exact, nonlinear equation for phase error, which we solve without approximations for random perturbations. This leads us to a precise characterisation of timing jitter and spectral dispersion, for computing which we develop efficient numerical methods. We demonstrate our techniques on practical electrical oscillators, and obtain good matches with measurements even at frequencies close to the carrier, where previous techniques break down.","PeriodicalId":221221,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1998 Design and Automation Conference. 35th DAC.

This long range sensitivity makes it difficult to balance delays in nets like clock trees, so for such nets inductance must be minimized. In this paper we use two- and three-dimensional electromagnetic field solvers to compare dedicated ground planes to a less area-consuming approach, interdigitating the signal line with ground lines. The surprising conclusion is that with very little area penalty, interdigitated ground lines are more effective at minimizing self-inductance than ground planes.","PeriodicalId":221221,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1998 Design and Automation Conference. 35th DAC.

A data transfer represents the movement of one instance of data and contains the operation sourcing the data and all the operations using it. Our model compels the storage architecture of the design to be optimized concurrently with the execution unit. We have built a high-level synthesis system, Midas, based on our data transfer model. Midas generates designs with smaller storage and data transfer requirements than other HLS systems.","PeriodicalId":221221,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1998 Design and Automation Conference. 35th DAC.

In this paper, we use dual threshold technique to reduce leakage power by assigning high threshold voltage to some transistors in non-critical paths, and using low-threshold transistors in critical paths. In order to achieve the best leakage power saving under target performance constraints, an algorithm is presented for selecting and assigning an optimal high threshold voltage. A general standby leakage current model which has been verified by HSPICE is used to estimate standby leakage power. Results show that dual threshold technique is good for power reduction during both standby and active modes. The standby leakage power savings for some ISCAS benchmarks can be more than 50%.","PeriodicalId":221221,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1998 Design and Automation Conference. 35th DAC. (Cat.

Although the traditional synthesis approach for such devices uses two-level minimization, the complexity of recently-produced CPLDs has resulted in a trend toward multi-level synthesis. We describe an approach that allows existing multi-level synthesis techniques to be adapted to produce circuits that are well-suited for implementation in CPLDs. Our algorithm produces circuits that require up to 90% fewer logic blocks than the circuits produced by a recently-published algorithm.","PeriodicalId":221221,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1998 Design and Automation Conference. 35th DAC.

Incremental CTL model checking using BDD subsetting 基于BDD子集的增量CTL模型检验

Hachtel","doi":"10.1145/277044.277171","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/277044.277171","url":null,"abstract":"An automatic abstraction/refinement algorithm for symbolic CTL model checking is presented. Conservative model checking is thus done for the full CTL language-no restriction is made to the universal or existential fragments. The algorithm begins with conservative verification of an initial abstraction. If the conclusion is negative, it derives a \"goal set\" of states which require further resolution. It then successively refines, with respect to this goal set, the approximations made in the sub-formulas, until the given formula is verified or computational resources are exhausted. This method applies uniformly to the abstractions based in over-approximation as well as under-approximations of the model. Both the refinement and the abstraction procedures are based in BDD-subsetting. Note that refinement procedures which are based on error traces, are limited to over-approximation on the universal fragment (or for language containment), whereas the goal set method is applicable to all consistent approximations, and for all CTL formulas.","PeriodicalId":221221,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1998 Design and Automation Conference. 35th DAC.
