— Decoupling capacitors (decaps) are typically used to reduce the noise in the power supply network. Because the delay of gates and interconnects is affected by the supply voltag...
In this paper we describe an area efficient power minimization scheme "Control Generated ClockingI` that saves significant amounts of power in datapath registers and clock dr...
In this paper we address the the growing issue of junction tunneling leakage (Ijunc) at the circuit level. Specifically, we develop a fast approach to analyze the state-dependent ...
Reliability of nanometer circuits is becoming a major concern in today’s VLSI chip design due to interferences from multiple noise sources as well as radiation-induced soft erro...
In nanometer scaled CMOS devices significant increase in the subthreshold, the gate and the reverse biased junction band-toband-tunneling (BTBT) leakage, results in the large incr...
