With aggressive reductions in feature sizes and the integration of multiple functionalities on the same die, bottlenecks due to I/O pin limitations have become a severe issue in to...
Abstract— This paper addresses the module assignment problem in pinlimited designs under the stacked-Vdd circuit paradigm. A partition-based algorithm is presented for efficient...
High efficiency low voltage DC-DC conversion is a key enabler to the design of power-efficient integrated circuits. Typically a star configuration of the DC-DC converters, where o...
