The number and magnitude of process variation sources are increasing as we scale further into the nano regime. Today's most successful response surface methods limit us to lo...
Abstract-- The PPV is a robust phase domain macromodel for oscillators. It has been proven to predict oscillators' responses correctly under small signal perturbations, and ca...
