Model generation in electronic design

the long version

Model Generation in Electronic Design describes many of the activities currently taking place in the electronic modeling domain. This volume covers a wide-range of model application, research use and disciplines all of which will be of interest to users, vendors, model producers and researchers. Model Generation in Electronic Design begins by describing a model generator to create component models. After this introduction the volume focuses on ASIC design and ASIC library generation. This includes chapters on the requirements for developing an ASIC library, a case study of using VITAL to create an ASIC library and the analysis and description of the accuracy required in modeling interconnections in ASIC design. Other chapters describe the development of thermal models for electronic devices, the development of a set of model packages for VHDL floating point operations, a technique for model validation and verification and a tool for model encryption. Model Generation in Electronic Design is the essential update for technical managers, designers, and researchers working in electronic design.
