A method of determining at least one ratio of transistor sizes. The method
includes creating a sizing model by replacing at least one logic element
in a circuit description with a sizing element that includes a
piece-wise-linear current source. The method also includes determining a
steady state solution to the sizing mode and determining at least one
ratio of transistor sizes from the steady state solution. The method may
also include determining at least one dimension of a transistor based at
least in part upon the ratio of transistor sizes.
