Recent study shows that the existing first order canonical timing model is not sufficient to represent the dependency of the gate delay on the variation sources when processing an...

Common binary arithmetic operations such as addition/subtraction and multiplication suffer from O(n) carry propagation delay where n is the number of digits. Carry lookahead helps...
This paper proposes a library-free technology mapping algorithm to reduce delay in combinational circuits. The algorithm reduces the overall number of series transistors through t...

This paper proposes a yield optimization method for standard-cells under timing constraints. Yield-aware logic synthesis and physical optimization require yield-enhanced standard ...
Asynchronous circuit implementations operating under strong constraints (DIMS, Direct Logic, some of NCL gates, etc.) are attractive due to: 1) regularity; 2) combined implementati...
