Dynamic gates have been excellent choice in the design of high-performance modules in modern microprocessors. The only limitation of dynamic gates is their relatively low noise mar...
: Future nano scale devices will expose different characteristics than todays silicon devices. While the exponential growth of non recurring expenses (NRE, mostly due to mask sets)...
eously demand shorter and less costly design cycles. Designing at higher levels of abstraction makes both objectives achievable, but enabling techniques like behavioral synthesis h...
Ultra-deep submicron manufacturability impacts physical design (PD) through complex layout rules and large guardbands for process variability; this creates new requirements for ne...
