Summary :

This paper presents a method of statistical system optimization. The method uses a constraint generation, which is a design methodology based on a hierarchical top-down design, to give specifications to sub-circuits of the system. The specifications are generated not only to reduce the costs of sub-circuits but also to take adequate margin to achieve enough yield of the system. In order to create an appropriate amount of margin, a term which expresses a statistical figure based on Mahalanobis' distance is added to the constraint generation problem. The method is applied to a PLL, and it is confirmed that the yield of the lock-up time reaches 100% after the optimization.
