Higher levels of integration have led to a generation of integrated circuits for which power dissipation and reliability are major design concerns. In CMOS circuits, both of these ...
—Soft errors due to cosmic rays cause reliability problems during lifetime operation of digital systems, which increase exponentially with Moore’s law. The first step in develo...
The Monte-Carlo (MC) technique is a traditional solution for a reliable statistical analysis, and in contrast to probabilistic methods, it can account for any complicate model. How...
Abstract - Today's digital design systems are running out of steam, when it comes to meeting the challenges presented by simultaneous switching, power consumption and reliabil...
With shrinking technology, the timing variation of a digital circuit is becoming the most important factor while designing a functionally reliable circuit. Gate sizing has emerged...
