Abstract— Thermal characterization of ICs and on-chip temperature monitoring has become a key task in electronic engineering. In this paper, we present the design of an on-chip C...
Multi-threshold CMOS is an increasingly popular circuit approach that enables high performance and low power operation. However, no methodologies have been developed to size the h...

— The enhanced packing densities facilitated by 3D integrated circuit technology also has an unwanted side-effect, in the form of increasing the amount of current per unit footpr...
We investigate techniques to design 45nm minimum-energy subthreshold CMOS circuits under timing constraints, considering the practical case of an 8-bit multiplier. We first show ...
