MunEDA – WiCkeDTM Statistical Circuit Analysis Tools

MunEDA WiCkeD Statistical Circuit Analysis Tools contain numerous methodologies to analyze and diagnose statistical effects of process variations have against integrated circuits regarding their functionality, topology concepts, performances, behavior against statistical variation effects. Statistical means here the circuit behavior based on global and local (mismatch) statistical variations. MunEDA offers within the WiCkeD suite numerous tools and methodologies for intensive Statistical Circuit and Variation Analysis for many application areas. These can support the circuit designer to reduce design time and effort and come up with high-performing and well-behaved circuits in an easy and convenient way.
