In modular testing of system-on-a-chip (SoC), test access mechanisms (TAMs) are used to transport test data between the input/output pins of the SoC and the cores under test. Prio...
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 ...
We revisit voltage partitioning problem when the mapped voltages of functional units are predetermined. If energy consumption is estimated by formulation E = CV 2 , a published wo...

As VLSI technology reaches 45nm technology node, leakage power optimization has become a major design challenge. Threshold voltage (vt) assignment has been extensively studied, du...
Asynchronous circuits are crucial in designing low power and high performance digital systems. In this paper, we present an ecient modular partitioning approach for asynchronous c...
