Since across-chip interconnect delays can exceed a clock cycle in nanometer technologies, it has become essential in high performance designs to add flip-flops on wires with multi...

Asynchronous circuits are increasingly attractive as low power or high-performance replacements to synchronous designs. A key part of these circuits are asynchronous micropipeline...
Due to larger buses (length, width) and deep sub-micron effects where coupling capacitances between bus lines are in the same order of magnitude as base capacitances, power consum...
erse approaches at all levels of abstraction starting from the physical level up to the system level. Experience shows that a highlevel method may have a larger impact since the de...
- Each year tens of billions of Dollars are wasted by the microelectronics industry because of missed deadlines and delayed design projects. These delays are partially due to desig...
