  • Abstract
    Computer-aided design tools are catching up with the shrinking transistor dimensions and channels, high device density, and low power requirements of today´s IC designs. These tools aid in power and timing analysis and in the modelling of second order effects. The features of such tools are discussed by the author.<>
