Silicon design implementation has become increasingly complex with the deep submicron technologies such as 90nm and below. It is common to see multiple processor cores, several ty...
In this paper we present a statistical method for estimating the maximum power consumption in VLSI circuits. The method is based on the theory of extreme order statistics applied ...
Noise affects circuit operation by increasing gate delays and causing latches to capture incorrect values. This paper proposes a method of characterizing correlation of signal tra...

This paper presents a new approach for on-chip test pattern generation. The set of test patterns generated by a pseudo-random pattern generator (e.g., an LFSR) is transformed into...
Variants of Kannan's Theorem are given where the circuits of the original theorem are replaced by arbitrary recursively presentable classes of languages that use advice string...
