Research Interests
Regular Circuit Fabrics
The economic aspects and physical realities of nanoscale IC design and manufacturing are creating more opportunities for programmable and reconfigurable circuits, but the performance advantages of application-specific circuit customization motivate the need for new design methodologies. Dr. Pileggi's research group is exploring various forms of circuit regularity and supporting design methodologies that will facilitate affordable nanoscale silicon IC implementation. This includes the creation of new regular fabrics for digital and analog circuit design that offer a continuum of trade-off opportunities from fully customizable to fully programmable circuits.
Variation-Aware Circuit-Level Design and Design Methodologies
Circuit-level design issues are of paramount importance with increasing operating speeds and shrinking nanometer feature sizes. Dr. Pileggi's research includes all aspects modeling, analyzing and optimizing high-performance digital and analog integrated circuits, with particular emphasis on the use of statistical methods for variation-aware design.
