This work first presents an analytical repeater insertion method which optimizes power under delay constraint for a single net. This method finds the optimal repeater insertion ...
During pseudorandom testing, a significant amount of energy and test application time is wasted for generating and for applying “useless” test vectors that do not contribute t...

This paper shows a method to verifying the thermal status of complex FPGA-based circuits like microprocessors. Thus, the designer can evaluate if a particular block is working bey...
—Accurate timing analysis is crucial for obtaining the optimal clock frequency, and for other design stages such as power analysis. Most methods for estimating propagation delay ...
This paper presents a new test response compaction technique with any number of unknown logic values (X’s) in the test response bits. The technique leverages an X-tolerant respo...
