Congestion estimation is an important issue for the success of the VLSI layout. Fast congestion estimation provides an efficient means to adjust the placement and wire planning. A...
Basic combinational gates, including NAND, NOR and XOR, are fundamental building blocks in CMOS digital circuits. This paper analyses and compares the power consumption due to tran...
Parallel counters are key elements in many arithmetic circuits, especially fast multipliers. In this paper, novel architectures and designs for high speed, low power (3, 2), (7, 3...
What makes a neural microcircuit computationally powerful? Or more precisely, which measurable quantities could explain why one microcircuit C is better suited for a particular fa...
