Optimization of area under a delay constraint in digital filter synthesis using SAT-based integer linear programming
In this paper, we propose an exact algorithm for the problem of area optimization under a delay constraint in the synthesis of multiplierless FIR filters. To the best of our knowl...

Timing-based delay test for screening small delay defects
The delay fault test pattern set generated by timing unaware commercial ATPG tools mostly affects very short paths, thereby increasing the escape chance of smaller delay defects. ...

A family of cells to reduce the soft-error-rate in ternary-CAM
Modern integrated circuits require careful attention to the soft-error rate (SER) resulting from bit upsets, which are normally caused by alpha particle or neutron hits. These eve...
