Leakage power is becoming a dominant contributor to the total power consumption and dual-Vth assignment is an efficient technique to decrease leakage power, for which effective de...
- Several studies have shown that cache memories account for more than 40% of the total energy consumed in processor-based embedded systems. In microscale technology nodes, active ...

With 90nm CMOS in production and 65nm testing in progress, power has been pushed to the forefront of design metrics. This paper will outline practical techniques that are used to ...
IDDQ testing has been used as a test technique to supplement voltage testing of CMOS chips. The idea behind IDDQ testing is to declare a chip as faulty if the steady-state current...
- Traditionally, minimum possible area of a VLSI layout is considered the best for delay and power minimization due to decreased interconnect capacitance. This paper shows however ...
