On-chip supply networks are playing an increasingly important role for modern nanometer-scale designs. However, the ever growing sizes of power grids make the analysis problem ext...
Scan-based architectures, though widely used in modern designs, are expensive in power consumption. In this paper, we present a new technique that allows to design power-optimized...
- In multi-layered power/ground (P/G) networks, to connect the whole network together, vertical vias are usually placed at intersections between metal wires of adjoining layers. In...
The energy efficiency of systems-on-a-chip can be much improved if one were to vary the supply voltage dynamically at run time. In this paper we describe the synthesis of systems-...

Die-to-die and within-die variations impact the frequency and power of fabricated dies, affecting functionality, performance, and revenue. Variation-tolerant circuits and post-sil...
