—Fast frequency acquisition is crucial for phase-locked loops (PLLs) used in portable devices, as on-chip clocks are frequently scaled down or up in order to manage power consump...
Transient Signal Analysis (TSA) is a parametric device testing technique based on the analysis of dynamic (transient) current (iDDT) drawn by the core logic from the power supply ...
Clock skew variations adversely affect timing margins, limiting performance, reducing yield, and may also lead to functional faults. Non-tree clock distribution networks, such as ...

We present a new methodology which takes into consideration the effect of Within-Die (WID) process variations on a low-voltage parallel system. We show that in the presence of pro...
