Title
A Novel Framework to Estimate the Path Delay Variability On the Back of an Envelope via the Fan-Out-of-4 Metric.
Abstract
In this paper, a novel framework is introduced to estimate the max-delay variability in logic paths due to variations in a back-of-the-envelope fashion, thus allowing quick evaluation of the additional cycle time margin imposed by random (local) variations. The framework provides the designer with a deep insight into the main variability contributions, and the improvements allowed by prospective d...
