RESEARCH PAPER SESSION: Analog and Mixed-Signal Design in an Uncertain World
Chair:
Trent McConaghy - Solido Design Automation, Inc., Saskatoon, CA
This session hosts recent innovations to combat the noise and variability issues faced in today's analog and mixed-signal circuits. The first two papers propose novel algorithms for simulating thermal, flicker, and random telegraph noise in the time domain. The next two papers focus on ways to ensure stability and performance of nanoscale analog circuits in the presence of process variation. The final two papers present ideas to improve the system reliability and new advances in reconfigurable analog designs.
