Abstract: Reliability assessment is an important part of the design process of digital integrated circuits. We observe that a common thread that runs through most causes of run-time failure is the extent of circuit activity, i.e., the rate at which its nodes are switching. We propose a new measure of activity, called the transition density, which may be defined as the "average switching rate" at a circuit node. Based on a stochastic model of logic signals, we rigorously define the transition density and... (Update)
