  • Abstract
    This paper addresses the problem of comparing the performance and the area and power consumption of integrated circuits built in different technologies. In the literature there are several methods described but these do not sufficiently take the velocity saturation into account. They either ignore velocity saturation or assume the device is always in velocity saturation. The approach presented in this paper handles the effects of velocity saturation more adequately.
