In this paper, we present the design of a P4 (Power-PerformanceProcess-Parasitic) aware voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) at nanoCMOS technologies. Through simulations, we have ...
Power density has been increasing at an alarming rate in recent processor generations resulting in high on-chip temperature. Higher temperature results in poor reliability and inc...
Post-fabrication tuning for mitigating manufacturing variability is receiving a significant attention. To reduce leakage increase involved in performance compensation by body bia...
— 3D stacked architectures provide significant benefits in performance, footprint and yield. However, vertical stacking increases the thermal resistances, and exacerbates tempe...
