摘要： A system and method for analyzing a circuit with transmission lines includes determining which sources influence each of a plurality of transmission lines, based on coupling factors. Transmission line parameters are computed based on the sources, which influence each transmission line. A transient response or frequency response is analyzed for each transmission line by segmenting each line to perform an analysis on that line. The step of analyzing is repeated using waveforms determined in a previous iteration until convergence to a resultant waveform has occurred.

摘要： A computer-implemented system, method, and storage device simulate a periodic voltage waveform in a network model of the integrated circuit design. The method then determines resultant current values in each segment of nets of the integrated circuit design resulting from the periodic voltage waveform and performs a Fourier transform of the periodic voltage waveform to generate a frequency domain representation of the periodic voltage waveform. The frequency domain representation comprises multiple Fourier terms, each of the Fourier terms is a frequency that is a multiple of the base frequency. Next, the method performs an AC analysis of the resultant voltage at each frequency of the multiple Fourier terms. The AC analysis provides an electrical current value for each of the frequencies of the Fourier terms for each of the nets. This allows the method to compute a root mean square current through each of the nets based on the AC analysis. Then, the method determines whether the root mean square current for any of the segments of the nets exceeds a current limit, and reports any segment of the nets for which the root mean square current exceeds the current limit.

摘要： This invention relates to computing numerical solutions of linear systems of equations, specifically to implementing preconditioning of the coefficient matrix of such a system. The preconditioning applies to any coefficient matrix, dense or sparse, based on the solutions of a physical problem of unknown functions, commonly referred to as basis or interpolation functions, where the basis function spans more then one mesh element. Examples of such linear systems can result from, as examples, an electromagnetic analysis of printed circuit boards or field scattering in radar applications, fluid mechanics and acoustics. A method and system to compute a preconditioner for a coefficient matrix A that is compatible with the linear system of equations that provides basis function support over at least two mesh elements. Coupling of the preconditioner between partitions of a portioned mesh representation is only through basis functions at the partition boundaries.

摘要： An accurate method to compute the capacitance at a pin whose capacitance is slew dependant. The method uses existing library characterized data and provides an equation based approach which can easily be integrated in static timing analysis without the added resource needs that an iterative approach would require. An RC/RLC network from slew and output load dependent pin capacitance tables is generated. The resulting linear network which models the pin capacitance is then stitched to the original interconnect network and used to calculate the propagation delay across a gate and corresponding interconnect. The method steps include: a) determining a response of the gate pin capacitance to its input slew and output load; b) synthesizing a linear time-invariant filter that matches the response; c) extending the interconnect model to include the synthesized time-invariant filter; and d) inputting the extended interconnect model into a static timing analysis for determining timing behavior between a gate input and each of its fan-out gates.

摘要： A frequency-domain analysis method computes noise power spectral densities (PSDs) in nonlinear circuits. The method uses harmonic components of the periodic time-varying PSD of cyclostationary noise, i.e., harmonic power spectral densities which are deterministic functions that describe the time-varying second-order statistics of cyclostationary noise. A block-structured matrix equation is used which relates output noise statistics to input noise statistics. By exploiting Toeplitz block structure, an efficient noise calculation method requires O(nN log N) computation time and O(nN) memory, where n is the circuit size and N is the number of significant harmonics in the circuit's steady state. The method successfully treats device noise sources with arbitrarily shaped PSDs (including thermal, shot, and flicker noises), handles noise input correlations and computes correlations between different outputs.

摘要： A method for accurately performing a timing, power, and noise analysis by pre-processing the characterization points of the available libraries, storing time consuming parts of the analysis and utilizing the pre-processed information during active runs to calculate the attributes at a desired PVT point. The PVT space is preferably sub-divided into triangular or rectangular regions, preferably obtained using Delaunay triangulation. In one embodiment, the invention performs an up-front pre-processing step on the characterized libraries to compute the static portion of the interpolation function that is independent of the specific instance; and a coefficient matrix that allows for interpolation of specific instances.
