SOI Circuit Design Styles and High-Level Circuit Modeling Techniques

Cell-based noise analysis tools. In advanced SOI technologies, the input noise may propagate, with little attenuation, through several or many gates. Therefore, accurately modeling noise propagation (from a cell's inputs to its outputs) is of significant importance for cell-based noise analysis tools. We propose and implement two new macromodeling techniques for purposes of building a noise-rule library. Our models capture the cell's output response due to noise at its input. Thus, one may accurately predict the propagated noise, perform failure/sensitivity (stability) analysis, or even hierarchically build the noise abstracts by invoking those high-level macromodels.
