Applications

In this chapter, we introduce a number of novel applications for the proposed
variations estimation methods. My methods are fast, cheap, and applicable to
all the combinatorial circuits. However, the previously proposed methods for
variations estimation are expensive and design specific. Thus, they can barely be
used in the following applications.

1. Improving modeling and simulation: Modeling a random variable is the
first step in finding its effects on a system. Modeling the process variation
is widely addressed in the literature [8,12,16,23,30,36,43,46,47,50,76,79].
However, there are a limited number of variation measurements that can
be used to fit a specific model and verify it. Our method introduces a fast
method to acquire an accurate estimation of variations in a specific IC.

The introduced variations estimation method can be also used in variation
