In this paper, we consider the problem of maximizing the battery life (or duration of service) in battery-powered CMOS circuits. We first show that the battery efficiency (or utili...
One of the fundamental problems in Deep Sub Micron (DSM) circuits is Simultaneous Switching Noise (SSN), which causes voltage fluctuations in the circuit power/ground networks. In...
Growing test data volume and overtesting caused by excessive scan capture power are two of the major concerns for the industry when testing large integrated circuits. Various test...
At-speed testing of high-speed circuits is becoming increasingly difficult with external testers due to the growing gap between design and tester performance, growing cost of high...
In this paper we present a methodology and techniques for generating cycle-accurate macro-models for RTlevel power analysis. The proposed macro-model predicts not only...
