We propose two novel integration techniques -- bypass and bookkeeping -- in the memory controller to address the cache coherence compatibility issue of a non-shared bus heterogene...
Our work addresses protection of hardware IP at the mask level with the goal of preventing unauthorized manufacturing. The proposed protocol based on chip locking and activation i...
In modern embedded systems including communication and multimedia applications, large fraction of power is consumed during memory access and data transfer. Thus, buses should be d...
As memory speeds and bus capacitances continue to rise, external memory bus power will make up an increasing portion of the total system power budget for system-on-a-chip embedded...
We present a configuration technique for a Large Area Integrated Circuit (LAIC) which is manufactured by wafer stepping. A LAIC consists of four identical subsystems, i.e., a subs...
