This book describes new, fuzzy logic-based mathematical apparatus, which enable readers to work with continuous variables, while implementing whole circuit simulations with speed, similar to gate-level simulators and accuracy, similar to circuit-level simulators.  The author demonstrates newly developed principles of digital integrated circuit simulation and optimization that take into consideration various external and internal destabilizing factors, influencing the operation of digital ICs.  The discussion includes factors including radiation, ambient temperature, electromagnetic fields, and climatic conditions, as well as non-ideality of interconnects and power rails.

This book describes machine learning-based new principles, methods of design and optimization of high-speed integrated circuits, included in one electronic system, which can exchange information between each other up to 128/256/512 Gbps speed. The efficiency of methods has been proven and is described on the examples of practical designs. This will enable readers to use them in similar electronic system designs. The author demonstrates newly developed principles and methods to accelerate communication between ICs, working in non-standard operating conditions, considering signal deviation compensation with linearity self-calibration. The observed circuit types also include but are not limited to mixed-signal, high performance heterogeneous integrated circuits as well as digital cores.

This book describes new principles, methods and techniques for parametric optimization of integrated circuits, considering the influence of secondary negative factors on the normal operation of circuit components, such as change of environmental conditions, parasitics, leakage currents, aging, etc. The efficiency of the methods discussed is demonstrated by examples of practical designs, enabling readers to use them in similar integrated circuit designs. The authors demonstrate newly developed principles and methods of transforming the given circuit and constraints into a single-objective or multi-objective optimization problem, applying swarm intelligence optimization algorithms and machine learning strategies, with the goal of finding the global minimum with the least number of simulations. The observed circuit types include but are not limited to analog, mixed-signal, high performance heterogeneous integrated circuits as well as digital cores.
