Energy Consumption Ratio (ECR) test, a current-based test, has shown its ability to reduce the impact of process variations and detect hard-to-detect faults. The effectiveness of ...
Current technology trends have led to the growing impact of both inter-die and intra-die process variations on circuit performance. While it is imperative to model parameter varia...
The threshold voltage (Vth) of a nanoscale transistor is severely affected by random dopant fluctuations and line-edge roughness. The analysis of these effects usually requires at...
An energy optimization is proposed that addresses the nontrivial digital contribution to power and impact on performance in high-speed mixed-signal circuits. Parallel energy and b...
