Abstract-- The operational characteristics of integrated circuits based on nanoscale semiconductor technology are expected to be increasingly affected by variations in the manufact...
Wearable computers can now merge seamlessly into ordinary clothing. Using various conductive textiles, data and power distribution as well as sensing circuitry can be incorporated...
-- The importance of within-die process variation and its impact on product yield has increased significantly with scaling. Within-die variation is typically monitored by embedding...
We introduce and analyze the ground bounce due to power mode transition in power gating structures. To reduce the ground bounce, we propose novel power gating structures in which ...
