Signal Transition Graphs (STGs) are one of the most popular models for the specification of asynchronous circuits. A STG can be implemented if it admits a so-called consistent an...
Level-sensitive transparent latches are widely used in high-performance sequential circuit designs. Under process variations, the timing of a transparently latched circuit will ada...
This paper investigates the impact of the changes of the characteristic polynomials and initial loadings, on behaviour of aliasing errors of parallel signature analyzer (Multi-Inp...
Abstract— As VLSI technology enters the nanoscale regime, interconnect delay becomes the bottleneck of circuit performance. Compared to gate delays, wires are becoming increasing...
Simulated annealing based standard cell placement for VLSI designs has long been acknowledged as a compute-intensive process. All previous work in parallel simulated annealing bas...
