Compared to the von Neumann’s computer architecture, neuromorphic systems offer advantages and novel approaches for artificial intelligence problems to be solved. Inspired by biology, neuromorphic systems adopt the theory of the human brain modeling by implementing neurons and synapses with the help electronic devices and circuits. Many researchers developed new algorithms, learning approaches, models, etc., implement them into hardware to explore the neuromorphic system. However, many of the promising approaches concentrate on the realization not taking into account the feasibility for industrial or consumer application of the various concepts.Here, simulation and modeling methodologies are discussed with a bench of examples of different applications from well know domains, e.g. MEMS, IC, etc. An overview is given where and when the different approaches/methodologies makes sense, starting from scratch towards predictive simulations for detailed analysis and the needs for realization in mass production. Afterwards, discussion is continued towards neuromorphic computing systems. In this paper we would like to draw the attention of the reader why it makes sense to use the support of such methods and why it is so important to push the development of simulation and modeling for neuromorphic computing systems.","PeriodicalId":375541,"journal":{"name":"2021 28th International Conference on Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and System","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127714752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An analysis of the measurement error of thermal resistance of a selected power MOS transistor was carried out using each of the considered TSPs. The results of thermal resistance measurements performed using the considered TSPs and a thermoresistor were compared and discussed.","PeriodicalId":375541,"journal":{"name":"2021 28th International Conference on Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and System","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126689823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The area scaling of 1/f noise, RTN and BTI is discussed in detail, as well as its variability among devices that by design should be identical. The modeling addresses the time dependent variability in the electrical behavior of devices and circuits.","PeriodicalId":375541,"journal":{"name":"2021 28th International Conference on Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and System","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131725267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
