We present an efficient and accurate gate sizing tool that employs a novel piecewise convex delay model, handling both rise and fall delays, for static CMOS gates. The delay model...
This paper reports on the design of a test chip built to test a) a new latency insensitive network fabric protocol and circuits, b) a new synchronizer design, and c) how efficient...

The lack of good "correlation" between pre-silicon simulated delays and measured delays on silicon (silicon data) has spurred efforts on so-called silicon debug. The ide...
The Verilog hardware description language has padding semantics that allow designers to write descriptions where wires of different bit widths can be interconnected. However, many ...
