With the event of nanoscale technologies, new physical phenomena and technological limitations are increasing the process variability and its impact on circuit yield and performances. Like combinatory cells, the sequential cells also suffer of variations, impacting their timing characteristics. Regarding the timing behaviors, setup and hold time violation probabilities are increasing. This article...
While the CMOS analog circuits can be designed with the minimum-gate-length of the fabrication process in the alpha-power law MOSFET model, the length of a MOSFET gate has been chosen to be a larger scale than the minimum-gate-length in the conventional Shockleypsilas square model. In this paper, we describe a 6-b 100 MSPS CMOS current steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with the alpha-power...
We present a generic method for analyzing the effect of process variability in nanoscale circuits. The proposed framework uses kernel and a generic tail probability estimator to eliminate the need for a-priori density choice for the nature of circuit variation. This allows capturing the true nature of the circuit variation from a few random samples of its observed responses. The data-driven, non-parametric,...
