Title
The Involution Tool for Accurate Digital Timing and Power Analysis
Abstract
We introduce the prototype of a digital timing simulation and power analysis tool for integrated circuits that supports the involution delay model (Függer et al. 2019). Unlike the pure and inertial delay models typically used in digital timing analysis tools, the involution model faithfully captures short pulse propagation and related effects. Our Involution Tool facilitates experimental accuracy evaluation of variants of involution models, by comparing their timing and power predictions to those from SPICE and standard timing analysis tools. The tool is easily customizable w.r.t. instances of the involution model and circuits, and supports automatic test case generation and parameter sweeping.
