Previous work has shown that circuit representations can be exploited in QBF solvers to obtain useful performance improvements. In this paper we examine some additional techniques ...
Abstract— Power consumption has become a crucial problem in modern circuit design. Multiple Supply Voltage (MSV) design is introduced to provide higher flexibility in controllin...
This paper presents a BIST technique that allows the synchronization of multiple scan chains clocked at different frequencies. The technique is used to improve performance testing...

Logic duplication, a commonly used synthesis technique to remove trapped inverters in reconvergent paths of Domino circuits, incurs high area and power penalties. In this paper, w...
Gate oxide tunneling current Igate and sub-threshold current Isub dominate the leakage of designs. The latter depends on threshold voltage Vth while Igate vary with the thickness ...
