Despite the seemingly endless upwards spiral of modern VLSI technology, many experts are predicting a hard wall for CMOS in about a decade. Given this, researchers continue to loo...
We introduce a new method of verifying the timing of custom CMOS circuits. Due to the exponential number of patterns required, traditional simulation methods are unable to exhaust...
Boolean matching (BM) is a widely used technique in FPGA resynthesis and architecture evaluation. In this paper we present several improvements to the recently proposed SAT-based ...
Traditionally, clock network layout is performed after cell placement. Such methodology is facing a serious problem in nanometer IC designs where people tend to use huge clock buff...
Abstract-- A complementary ferroelectriccapacitor (CFC) logic-circuit style is proposed for a compact and standby-power-free content-addressable memory (CAM). Since the use of the ...
