摘要:
One embodiment of the invention provides a system that characterizes cells within an integrated circuit. During operation, the system obtains a number of input noise signals to be applied to the cell. The system then simulates responses of the cell to each of the input noise signals, and stores a representation of the responses. This allows a subsequent analysis operation to access the stored representation to determine a response of the cell instead of having to perform a time-consuming simulation operation.
