In dense integrated circuit designs, management of routing congestion is essential; an over congested design may be unroutable. Many factors influence congestion: placement, rout...
Effective high-level ATPG tools are increasingly needed, as an essential element in the quest for reducing as much as possible the designer work on gate-level descriptions. We pro...

Gate sizing and threshold voltage (Vt) assignment are popular techniques for circuit timing and power optimization. Existing methods, by and large, are either sensitivity-driven h...
State-of-the-art FPGA architectures have millions of gates in CLBs, Block RAMs, and Multiplier blocks which can host fairly large designs. While their physical design calls for oor...
Abstract-- We present two-dimensional (space/time) compression techniques that reduce test data volume and test application time for scan testing of intellectual property (IP) core...
