A method is provided to evaluate crosstalk effect of aggressor switching upon victim net signal transition time within an integrated circuit comprising: combining a first probability density function (PDF) of first aggressor switching time in response to a first input signal to an aggressor net driver and a second aggressor switching time in response to a second input signal to the aggressor net driver; determining a delay change curve that represents a relationship between delay change of arrival time of a victim net signal transition and relative alignment of the aggressor net driver switching time and a victim net driver switching time; and determining a third PDF of delay change of a transition of the victim net signal based upon the combination and the delay change curve.

Statistical static timing analysis of signal with crosstalk induced delay change in integrated circuit

A method, system, and computer program product are disclosed for performing statistical leakage power characterization to estimate yield of a circuit in terms of leakage power. According to some approaches, this is performed with consideration of state correlation.

Method and system for performing statistical leakage characterization, analysis, and modeling

A method, system, and computer program product are disclosed for performing statistical leakage power characterization to estimate yield of a circuit in terms of leakage power. According to some approaches, this is performed with consideration of bi-exponential modeling.

Method and system for crosstalk analysis relating to a statistical crosstalk path delay model that fits into existing static timing framework with little overhead in performance and capacity. More realistic models or assumptions are utilized rather than the more aggressive and less likely deterministic model.
