Model order reduction (MOR) techniques reduce the complexity of
VLSI designs, paving the way to higher operating speeds and smaller
feature sizes. This 2007 book presents a systematic introduction
to, and treatment of, the key MOR methods employed in general
linear circuits, using real-world examples to illustrate the
advantages and disadvantages of each algorithm. Following a review
of traditional projection-based techniques, coverage progresses to
more advanced MOR methods for VLSI design, including HMOR, passive
truncated balanced realization (TBR) methods, efficient inductance
modeling via the VPEC model, and structure-preserving MOR
techniques. Where possible, numerical methods are approached from
the CAD engineer's perspective, avoiding complex mathematics and
allowing the reader to take on real design problems and develop
more effective tools. With practical examples and over 100
illustrations, this book is suitable for researchers and graduate
students of electrical and computer engineering, as well as
practitioners working in the VLSI design industry.
