This work presents an approach to model nonlinear circuit blocks, commonly found in serial
and memory links, using deep neural networks. Specifically, we discuss modeling and …

While the complexity of modern RF systems on chip grows significantly, the methods for
functional verification can not hold pace. Powerful tools, that are available for the verification …

Functional modeling of analog circuits is an important step in the verification of today's mixed-
signal Systems-On-Chip, and it will only become more important as analog-digital …

This paper presents an event-driven simulation methodology for injection-locked oscillators.
The proposed method adopts a phase-domain macromodel based on a perturbation …

In mobile RF transceiver systems, the large number of digital circuits employed to
compensate or calibrate the non-idealities of the RF circuits call for models that can work …

Today's high-speed I/O interfaces demand extensive modeling and simulation to: design
optimal equalization to compensate channel loss, compare different clocking schemes …

This thesis presents a method of performing fast and accurate simulation for mixed-signal
systems. The first section introduces traditional simulation methods for mixed-signal systems …

This thesis deals with evaluating the transceiver circuitry employed in high-speed serial
links. Contributions from the thesis can be divided into two segments: object-oriented …
