Dual threshold technique has been proposed to reduce leakage power in low voltage and low power circuits by applying a high threshold voltage to some transistors in non-critical p...
First-in first-out (FIFO) memories are widely used in SoC for data buffering and flow control. In this paper, a robust ultra-low power asynchronous FIFO memory is proposed. With s...
Digital calibration techniques are widely utilized to linearize pipelined analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). However, their power dissipation can be prohibitively high, particula...
—Noise-tolerant XOR-based conditional keeper for high fan-in dynamic circuits is presented in this paper. Noise immunity is enhanced by conditionally turning on the conditional k...
Global routing is an important step for physical design. In this paper, we develop a new global router, NTUgr, that contains three major steps: prerouting, initial routing, and enh...
