We present a technique for modeling nonlinear distortion of multirate time-varying communication circuits. To properly consider the weakly nonlinear distortion effects in circuits with multiple large-signal excitations, we capture the quasiperiodic boundary condition of the system Volterra kernels using a multivariate formulation. We then extend the model order reduction work of P. Li et al. (2003) to reduce this large multivariate representation for compact modeling. The proposed approach is demonstrated on a heterodyne front-end receiver.

At high-level synthesis for system VLSIs, their power consumption is efficiently reduced by applying gated clocks to them. Since using gated clocks causes the reduction of power consumption and the increase of area/delay, estimating tradeoff between power and area/delay by applying gated clocks is very important. In this paper. we discuss the amount of variance of area, delay and power by applying gated clocks. We propose a simple gate-level circuitmodel and estimation equations. We vary parameters in our proposed circuitmodel, and evaluate power consumption by back-annotating gate-level simulation results to the original circuit. This paper also proposes a conditional expression for applying gated clocks The expression shows whether or not we can reduce power consumption by applying gated clocks. We confirm the accuracy of proposed estimation equations by experiments.

The performance characterization and optimization of logic circuits under rapid process migration is one of the big challenges of nowadays submicron CMOS technologies. This characterization must be robust on a wide design space in predicting the performance evolution of designs. In this paper we present a second generation of analytical modeling of delay performance, considering speed carrier desaturation induced non linear variation of delay, I/O coupling, load and input ramp effects. A First model is deduced for inverters and then extended to logic gates through a reduction protocol of the serial transistor array, Validations are given, on a 0.18mum process, by comparing values of simulated (HSPICE) and calculated delay for different configurations of inverters and gates.

Coupled electro-thermal simulations are performed to demonstrate predictive design of microwave devices. These simulations are based on an original, fully physical, thermal impedance matrix approach, capable of describing 'nearly exactly' time-dependent heat flow in complex 3-dimensional systems, whilst requiring no modelreduction for electro-thermal CAD. This thermal model is validated by thermal imaging of passive grid arrays representative of spatial power combining architectures. Electro-thermal transient, single-tone, two-tone and multi-tone harmonic balance simulations are presented for a MESFET amplifier, by implementing the thermal impedance matrix approach in microwave circuit simulator, Transim (NCSU).

A circuitmodeling approach to study the effect of temperature on the modulation dynamics of DH and QW Lasers is attempted using a simple and less time consuming PSPICE circuit simulator. The circuitmodel is developed from the `rate equations' for which the temperature dependent parameters are chosen suitably. The DC sweep simulation shows increased threshold current for increase in temperature. At higher temperatures, the pulse response reveals reduction in optical pulse amplitude and an increase in relaxation oscillations. A reduction in frequency chirp amplitude at increased temperature is also observed.

As DRAM circuit densities increase, and feature size decrease, circuitsimulation of these circuits are becoming increasingly more critical and challenging in order to handle the large circuit capacity (millions of transistors) together with the accuracy required to take into account submicron effects. This paper presents a modeling and circuitreduction methodology and a DRAM modeling tool that lets the user configure the model architecture, parameterize and generate reduced macromodels, select and switch different level models, link the different models, and define circuits stimulus signals for the circuitsimulation of the entire DRAM design.
