Implementing a built-in self-test by a "test per clock" scheme offers advantages concerning fault coverage, detection of delay faults, and test application time. Such a ...
In this paper, we study the simultaneous buffer and wire sizing (SBWS) problem for delay and power dissipation minimization. We prove the BS/WS relation for optimal SBWS solutions...
—Software instrumentation is a key technique in many stages of the development process. It is of particular importance for debugging embedded systems. Instrumented programs produ...
As the technology node advances into the nanometer era, via-open defects are one of the dominant failures due to the copper cladding process. To improve via yield and reliability, ...
Physical synthesis tools are responsible for achieving timing closure. Starting with 130nm designs, multiple cycles are required to cross the chip, making latch placement critical...
