A novel variation-aware low-power keeper architecture for wide fan-in dynamic gates
Substantial increase in leakage current and threshold voltage fluctuations are making design of robust wide fan-in dynamic gates a challenging task. Traditionally, a PMOS keeper t...

Delay modeling and static timing analysis for MTCMOS circuits
- One of the critical issues in MTCMOS design is how to estimate a circuit delay quickly. In this paper, we propose a delay modeling and static timing analysis (STA) methodology ta...

Self-calibration technique for reduction of hold failures in low-power nano-scaled SRAM
Increasing source voltage (Source-Biasing) is an efficient technique for reducing gate and sub-threshold leakage of SRAM arrays. However, due to process variation, a higher source...
