An effective method for focusing optimization effort on the most important parts of a design is to examine those elements on the critical path. Traditionally, the critical path is...

This paper presents analysis methods for energy estimation in RC trees driven by time-varying voltage sources, e.g., buffers, timevarying power supplies, and resonant clock genera...
As power consumption of the clock tree in modern VLSI designs tends to dominate, measures must be taken to keep it under control. This paper introduces an approach for reducing cl...
