Structured ASICs provide an exciting middle ground between FPGA and ASIC design methodologies. Compared to ASIC, structured ASIC based designs require lower non recurring engineer...
Modern processors and SoCs require the adoption of poweroriented design styles, due to the implications that power consumption may have on reliability, cost and manufacturability ...
Abstract— Clock gating is a popular technique for reducing power dissipation in clock network. Although there have been numerous research efforts on clock gating, the previous ap...
Traditionally, clock network layout is performed after cell placement. Such methodology is facing a serious problem in nanometer IC designs where people tend to use huge clock buff...
Clock mesh networks are well known for their variation tolerance. But their usage is limited to high-end designs due to the significantly high resource requirements compared to clo...
