Many tasks in CAD, such as equivalence checking, property checking, logic synthesis, and false paths analysis require efficient Boolean reasoning for problems derived from circuit...
This paper describes two techniques to quantify energy consumption of burst-modeasynchronous(clock-less)controlcircuits. The circuit specifications consideredare extended burst-m...

In this paper, we propose a technique to implement communication protocols as hardware circuits using a model of concurrent EFSMs with multi-way synchronization. Since use of mult...
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...
