CMOS Phase-locked loops (PLL) are ubiquitous in RF and mixed-signal integrated circuits. PLLs are very sensitive to noise fluctuations on the power and ground rails. In this paper...
Loical defect diagnosis is a critical yet challenging process in VLSI manufacturing. It involves the identification of the defect spots in a logic IC that fails testing. In the la...
Power consumption has been the primary issue in processor design, with various power reduction strategies being adopted from system-level to circuitlevel. In order to develop a po...
We present a methodology and algorithms for automatic refinement from a given design specification to an architecture model based on decisions in architecture exploration. An arch...
