In this paper we introduce a method for computing the Elmore delay of MOS circuits which relies on a model of the capacitance of MOS devices and a model of the Elmore delay of individual MOS devices. The resistance of a device is not explicitly modelled. The Elmore models are used to compute the Elmore delay and the 50% point delay of CMOS circuits in a static timing veri er. Elmore delays comp...

This paper provides an Analog Behavioral Model (ABM) in PSpice of a tunnel diode The PSpice parameters are implemented as separate parameterized blocks constructed from SPICE (ABM) controlled sources and extracted through experiment. A tunnel diode based oscillator is also proposed and simulated using circuit analysis software. The behavior of the tunnel diode is simulated and compared to the m...

In this paper we provide further evidence and verify the existence of convolution relation between transient currents of gates of a sensitized path, power grid impulse responses and transient currents measured from chip power ports. Such a relation has important implications and applications in different aspects of current based testing and diagnosis techniques. We have also developed a new too...

The accurate analog simulation of critical circuit parts is a key task in the R&D process of integrated circuits. With the increasing complexity of integrated circuits it is becoming cumulatively challenging to simulate in the analog domain and within reasonable simulation time. Previous speedup approaches of the SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) analog circuit simulat...

Ultra Low Magnetic Moment (ULM) PIN diodes cause the smallest possible magnetic artifacts in high field MR Imaging. Designers of MR scanners often use CAD packages to simulate their designs but there are no models available in these CAD packages to simulate these important devices until now. A new model for PIN diodes used in MR scanners is presented and is applicable for devices used in higher...

This paper presents a new technique for accurately modeling uni-directional High-Voltage lightly-doped-drain MOS (HV MOS) devices by extending the bi-directional HV MOS model and adopting a new parameter extraction method. We have already reported on a SPICE model for bi-directional HV MOS devices based on BSIM3v3. However, if we apply this bi-directional HV MOS model and its parameter extracti...

We describe SPICE: Simulation Package for Including Flavor in Collider Events. SPICE takes as input two ingredients: a standard flavor-conserving supersymmetric spectrum and a set of flavorviolating slepton mass parameters, both of which are specified at some high “mediation” scale. SPICE then combines these two ingredients to form a flavor-violating model, determines the resulting low-energy s...

•ATTN models better than FC models, and discriminability objective works for both. •ATTN+CIDEr+* combination is our best choice •Moderate λ = 1 produces good tradeoff between discriminability and fluency •Higher λ make captions more discriminative to machine and to humans, but at the cost of fluency •With moderate λ, non-discriminative scores like BLEU, METEOR, CIDEr improve as well! • especial...
