Commercial tools for standard-cell based datapath design are here classed according to design flows, and the advantages of each class are discussed with the results of two test ci...
In modern embedded systems including communication and multimedia applications, large fraction of power is consumed during memory access and data transfer. Thus, buses should be d...
We highlight several fundamental challenges to designing highperformance integrated circuits in nanometer-scale technologies (i.e. drawn feature sizes < 100 nm). Dynamic power ...
We present a robust, automated oscillator macromodeling technique for extracting comprehensive phase and amplitude macromodels from oscillators' SPICE circuit descriptions. Th...
A 550MHz 64b PowerPC processor was developed for fabrication in Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) technology from a processor previously designed and fabricated in bulk CMOS [1]. Both th...
