This paper proposes a circuit optimization approach that can ease the computational burden on the simulation-based circuit optimizers by leveraging simple design equations that reflect the designer's intent. The technique is inspired by continuation methods (a.k.a. homotopy) in numerical analysis where a hard problem is solved by constructing an easier problem first and gradually refining its solution...
Summary form only given. The IC industry is facing a huge paradox. On one hand, with the slowing of the performance and power gains provided by scaling, designers need to find new ways of delivering value to their customers. Historically this has meant creating more application specialized chips and systems. On the other hand the rising NRE costs for chip design (now over $10M/chip) has caused the...
