Abstract

A new environment, SENSATION for circuit optimization and statistical analysis has been developed. It provides real-time optimization and includes automatic algorithms to assist for reaching optimal points. A statistical analysis environment is presented, which aids in Monte Carlo analysis, worst case corner analysis, and sensitivity analysis. This capability facilitates the characterization of the effects of several operating conditions and manufacturing process parameters on the design performances. Experimental results illustrating the advantages of the proposed methods are discussed
