An ATPG technique is proposed that reduces heat dissipation during testing of sequential circuits that have full-scan. The objective is to permit safe and inexpensive testing of l...
Estimation of maximal power consumption is an essential task in VLSI circuit realizations since power value significantly affects the reliability of the circuits. The key issue o...
— It has been the conventional assumption that, due to the superlinear dependence of leakage power consumption on temperature, and widely varying on-chip temperature profiles, a...

In a synchronous finite state machine (FSM), huge current peaks are often observed at the moment of state transition. Previous low power state encoding algorithms focus on the red...
1 In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach for estimating the switching activities of the internal nodes in logic circuits. The new approach combines the advantages of the simul...
