TLDR
A methodology for hierarchical statistical circuit characterization which does not rely upon circuit-level Monte Carlo simulation is presented and permits the statistical characterization of large analog and mixed-signal systems.Abstract:
A methodology for hierarchical statistical circuit characterization which does not rely upon circuit-level Monte Carlo simulation is presented. The methodology uses principal component analysis, response surface methodology, and statistics to directly calculate the statistical distributions of higher-level parameters from the distributions of lower-level parameters. We have used the methodology to characterize a folded cascode operational amplifier and a phase-locked loop. This methodology permits the statistical characterization of large analog and mixed-signal systems, many of which are extremely time-consuming or impossible to characterize using existing methods.read more

Asymptotic probability extraction for non-normal distributions of circuit performance
TL;DR: An asymptotic probability extraction method, APEX, for estimating the unknown random distribution when using nonlinear response surface modeling, which uses a binomial moment evaluation to efficiently compute the high order moments of the unknown distribution and applies moment matching to approximate the characteristic function of the random circuit performance by an efficient rational function.

Asymptotic Probability Extraction for Nonnormal Performance Distributions
TL;DR: The APEX begins by efficiently computing the high-order moments of the unknown distribution and then applies moment matching to approximate the characteristic function of the random distribution by an efficient rational function, and is proven that such a moment-matching approach is asymptotically convergent when applied to quadratic response surface models.

An Integrated and Efficient Approach for MOS VLSI Statistical Circuit Design
TL;DR: A statistical model for MOS VLSI circuits has been developed in which only the interdie variations are considered, since they are much larger than the local intradie variations, which leads to a resolution of the problem of dimensionality associated with statistical design.
