Statistical circuit simulation is exhibiting increasing importance for memory circuits under process variation. It is challenging to accurately estimate the extremely low failure probability as it becomes a high-dimensional and multi-failure-region problem. In this paper, we develop an Adaptive Clustering and Sampling (ACS) method. ACS proceeds iteratively to cluster samples and adjust sampling distribution, while most existing approaches pre-decide a static sampling distribution. By adaptively searching in multiple cone-shaped subspaces, ACS obtains better accuracy and efficiency. This result is validated by our experiments. For SRAM bit cell with single failure region, ACS requires 3-5X fewer samples and achieves better accuracy compared with existing approaches. For 576-dimensional SRAM column circuit with multiple failure regions, ACS is 2050X faster than MC without compromising accuracy, while other methods fail to converge to correct failure probability in our experiment.
