Abstract
A circuit is vulnerable if Trojan state appears, verification processes are needed to ensure the circuit is robust over temperature and process variation. Circuit-level continuation methods finding all DC operating points are summarized in this work. The discussion of where to apply continuation methods in the circuit and the minimum requirement of simulation steps in a circuit will be shown.
