Power supply noise increases the circuit delay, which may lead to performance failure of a design. Decoupling capacitance (decap) addition is effective in reducing the power suppl...
† The limits on CMOS energy dissipation imposed by subthreshold leakage currents and by wiring capacitance are investigated for CMOS generations beyond 50nm at NTRS projected loc...

-- Power-gating is a technique for efficiently reducing leakage power by shutting off the idle blocks. However, the presence of power-gating may also introduce negative effects on ...
We propose a novel design flow for mismatch and processvariation aware optimization of nanoscale CMOS Active Pixel Sensor (APS) arrays. As a case study, an 8 × 8 APS array is de...
