Such simulators however, are too slow to be of any use inside an iterative automatic timing driven layout (ATDL) engine, which may repeat the computations millions of times. Other methods such as half-perimeter approximation are very easy and fast to compute, but accuracy is very poor for these kinds of FPGAs. The method published by Chew and Lien [1994] overcomes these problems; however, it introduces a very large number of fitted parameters, and its accuracy decreases for more complicated topologies. We present a method similar to Chew and Lien's, but with better accuracy and far fewer coefficients. This is achieved by taking advantage of the symmetry of the problem under the permutation group S/sub N/ of N objects.","PeriodicalId":74515,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

A novel differential PN (Pseudo-Noise) code scheme is adopted to reduce the number of multiplication and summation (M&S). The PDDMF (Pipelined Digital Differential Matched Filter) not only saves half of the hardware and power, but also improves the speed to a single operation time of M&S. These features make the PDDMF more suitable for personal communication high speed and low power requirements than the conventional methods. The FPGA of the DDMF (Digital Differential Matched Filter) verifies the matched filter using the proposed differential PN code scheme. Moreover, a 64 taps length PDDMF with 4 bits soft decision using 5 V 0.8 /spl mu/m CMOS standard cells is designed. The active chip area is 2.6/spl times/2.6 mm/sup 2/.

For a given gate library, the injection patterns associated with a gate and an input transition scheme are accurately evaluated using device-level simulation. Assuming spatial independence of all noise generating devices, the cumulative switching noise resulting from all injection patterns is efficiently computed using a gate-level event-driven simulator. The resulting injected signal is then sampled and translated into an energy spectrum which accounts for fundamental frequencies as well as glitch energy. Preliminary results demonstrate the validity of the assumptions and the accuracy of the approach on a set of standard benchmark circuits.","PeriodicalId":74515,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...
