  • Abstract
    In this paper we present a statistical analysis method which bridges the statistical information between process-level and system-level. This enables us to evaluate the effect of process variation at the system level. Also, we can derive constraints on the process variation from a performance requirement. We show an example of the hierarchical statistical analysis applied to a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuit.
