Abstract--In this paper, we present a new approach to calculate the steady state resistance values for CMOS library gates. These resistances are defined as simple equivalent models...
Processors have traditionally been designed for the worst-case, resulting in designs that have high yields, but are expensive in terms of area and power. Better-than-worst-case (B...
Register files are in the critical path of most high-performance processors and their latency is one of the most important factors that limit their size. Our goal is to develop er...

In this paper we investigate optimal voltage testing approaches for physically-based faults in CMOS circuits. We describe the general nature of the problem and then focus on two f...
Smaller feature sizes, reduced voltage levels, higher transistor counts, and reduced noise margins make future generations of microprocessors increasingly prone to transient hardw...
