Many techniques for power management employed in advanced RTL synthesis tools rely explicitly or implicitly on observability don’t-care (ODC) conditions. In this paper we presen...
Behavioral synthesis tools have made significant progress in compiling high-level programs into register-transfer level (RTL) specifications. But manually rewriting code is still ...
Long design cycles due to the inability to predict silicon realities is a well-known problem that plagues analog/RF integrated circuit product development. As this problem worsens...
An important primitive in the hardware implementations of linear DSP transforms is a circuit that can multiply an input value by one of several different preset constants. We prop...
The multiple-supply voltage (MSV) design style has been extensively applied to mitigate dynamic-power consumption. The MSV design paradigm, however, brings many crucial challenges...
