— Modern sub-micron VLSI designs include huge power grids that are required to distribute large amounts of current, at increasingly lower voltages. The resulting voltage drop on ...
Adaptive body biasing (ABB) is a powerful technique that allows post-silicon tuning of individual manufactured dies such that each die optimally meets the delay and power constrai...

A physical yet compact gate delay model is developed integrating short-channel effects and the Alpha-power law based timing model. This analytical approach accurately predicts bot...
Embedded computer systems are characterized by the presence of a dedicated processor and the software that runs on it. Power constraints are increasingly becoming the critical com...
