High-performance caches statically pull up the bitlines in all cache subarrays to optimize cache access latency. Unfortunately, such an architecture results in a significant wast...
Straining of silicon improves mobility of carriers resulting in speed enhancement for transistors in CMOS technology. Traditionally, silicon straining is applied in a similar ad-h...
Switching model captures the data-driven uncertainty in logic circuits in a comprehensive probabilistic framework. Switching is a critical factor that influences dynamic, active ...
In this paper, we present the design of a P4 (Power-PerformanceProcess-Parasitic) aware voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) at nanoCMOS technologies. Through simulations, we have ...
† The limits on CMOS energy dissipation imposed by subthreshold leakage currents and by wiring capacitance are investigated for CMOS generations beyond 50nm at NTRS projected loc...
