BEHAVIORAL CIRCUIT MODELING FOR GEOMETRIC PROGRAMMING BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

摘要

A method for providing a mathematical expression in the form of a posynomial or max-monomial function for a performance metric of an integrated circuit is disclosed. Data representing a plurality of circuit variables is provided and curve fitting occurs to selected ones of the variables. A plurality of expressions may be used and when used, error at the transition from one expression to another is checked. The resultant expressions lend themselves to a global solution with design problems expressed as geometric programs.
