Digital calibration techniques are widely utilized to linearize pipelined analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). However, their power dissipation can be prohibitively high, particula...
The impact of pipeline length on the performance of a microprocessor is explored both theoretically and by simulation. An analytical theory is presented that shows two opposing ar...
—Optimizing sequential cycles is essential for many types of high-performance circuits, such as pipelines for packet processing. Retiming is a powerful technique for speeding pip...
