Abstract
Bubble Razor has been proposed to eliminate required timing margins in synchronous design caused by increasing delay variation due to process variation and aging. However, the theoretical analysis of its performance under variability is unknown. This paper presents a Markov Chain model to describe the behavior of Bubble Razor. Using this model, we analyze its performance and provide an optimizing strategy to maximize its benefits.
