With scaling down to deep submicron and nanometer technologies, noise immunity is becoming a metric of the same importance as power, speed, and area. Smaller feature sizes, low vo...
—X-filling is preferred for low-capture-power scan test generation, since it reduces IR-drop-induced yield loss without the need of any circuit modification. However, the effecti...

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...
High-level power design presents a complex, multiobjective problem that involves the simultaneous optimisation of competing criteria such as speed, area and power. It is difficult...
