Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for predicting a condition in a circuit under design includes obtaining a set comprising first static noise margin curve for the circuit and a second static noise margin curve for the circuit, wherein the second static noise margin curve is complementary to the first static noise margin curve, matching the set to a two-dimensional model of a cell, and predicting the condition in accordance with hardware characterization data corresponding to the cell.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method for predicting a condition in a circuit under design, the method comprising: obtaining a first set comprising a first static noise margin curve for the circuit and a second static noise margin curve for the circuit, wherein each of the first static noise margin curve and the second static noise margin curve plots a voltage of an input node of the circuit against a corresponding voltage of an output node of the circuit, wherein t…
