The clock rate of modern chips is still increasing and at the same time the gate size decreases. As a result, already slight variations during the production process may cause a f...
Power consumption, particularly runtime leakage, in long on-chip buses has grown to an unacceptable portion of the total power budget due to heavy buffer insertion to combat RC de...

An accurate model is presented to calculate the short circuit energy dissipation of logic cells. The short circuit current is highly dependent on the input and output voltage valu...
A dynamic noise model is developed and applied to analyze the noise immunity of precharge-evaluate circuits. Considering that the primary source of noise-injection in the circuit ...
As technology scales down, timing verification of digital integrated circuits becomes an increasingly challenging task due to the gate and wire variability. Therefore, statistical...
