Title
A statistical static timing analysis considering correlations between delays
Abstract
In this paper, we present a new algorithm for the statistical static timing analysis of a CMOS combinatorial circuit, which can treat correlations of arrival times of input signals to a logic gate and correlations of switching delays in a logic gate. We model each switching delay by a normal distribution, and use a normal distribution of two stochastic variables with a coefficient of correlation for computing the distribution of output delay of a logic gate. Since the algorithm takes the correlation into account, the time complexity is O(n*m) in the worst-case, where n and m are the numbers of vertices and edges of the acyclic graph representing a given combinatorial circuit.
