When testing delay faults on critical paths, conventional structural test patterns may be applied in functionally-unreachable states, leading to over-testing or under-testing of t...
Due to shrinking technology, increasing functional frequency and density, and reduced noise margins with supply voltage scaling, the sensitivity of designs to supply voltage noise...
The impact of power supply integrity on a design has become a critical issue, not only for functional verification, but also for performance verification. Traditional analysis has...

Power supply noise increases the circuit delay, which may lead to performance failure of a design. Decoupling capacitance (decap) addition is effective in reducing the power suppl...
