THURSDAY, June 10, 2004, 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM | Room: 6B
TOPIC AREA:  NANOMETER ANALYSIS AND SIMULATION

   SESSION 52
  Noise-Tolerant Design and Analysis Techniques
  Chair: David Blaauw - Univ. of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI
  Organizers: Anirudh Devgan, Dennis Sylvester

  This session deals with various sources of noise, both traditional and non-traditional, and describes both analysis and design techniques to address them. The first paper proposes macromodels to capture the response of CMOS logic gates to input noise waveforms while the second work looks at multiple sources of noise in a circuit, including soft errors, to find noise-sensitive nodes. The third paper proposes a unique keeper structure in dynamic logic to boost noise immunity. The last work studies different approaches to global interconnect pipelining under process fluctuations, which can be viewed as another source of noise.
