In this paper, a simulation-based synthesis tool, AMIGO, for analog cell sizing is presented. AMIGO is based upon genetic optimization techniques adapted to circuit sizing. A fram...
Modern integrated circuits (ICs) are becoming increasingly complex. The complexity makes it difficult to design, manufacture and integrate these high-performance ICs. The advent o...
We present novel and efficient methods for on-line testing in FPGAs. The testing approach uses a ROving TEster (ROTE), which has provable diagnosabilities and is also faster than ...
Thermal effects are becoming increasingly important during integrated circuit design. Thermal characteristics influence reliability, power consumption, cooling costs, and performan...
Routability optimization has become a major concern in the physical design cycle of VLSI circuits. Due to the recent advances in VLSI technology, interconnect has become a dominan...
