Domino circuits have been used in most modern high-performance microprocessor designs because of their high speed, low transistor-count and hazard-free operation. However, with te...
Abstract-- The operational characteristics of integrated circuits based on nanoscale semiconductor technology are expected to be increasingly affected by variations in the manufact...
We propose a novel design flow for mismatch and processvariation aware optimization of nanoscale CMOS Active Pixel Sensor (APS) arrays. As a case study, an 8 × 8 APS array is de...
Within-die variation in leakage power consumption is substantial and increasing for chip-level multiprocessors (CMPs) and multiprocessor systems-on-chip. Dealing with this problem...
