Abstract

In this paper, we propose statistical sampling techniques in estimating the mean and distribution of full-chip leakage current under process variations. The stratified random sampling procedures are used to estimate the mean and variance of the full-chip leakage, under intra-die and inter-die process variations. Statistical quantile estimation method is then applied to estimate the cumulative distribution function. Experimental results show that, comparing to simple random sampling, the proposed approaches improve the estimation speed by 2.7X, on average.
