Designing asynchronous circuits by reusing existing synchronous tools has become a promising solution to the problem of poor CAD support in asynchronous world. A straightforward w...
Symbolic techniques based on Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) are widely employed for reasoning about temporal properties of hardware circuits and synchronous controllers. However, ...
This paper reports on a method for extending existing VHDL design and verification software available for the Xilinx Virtex series of FPGAs. It allows the designer to apply standa...
Statistical static timing analysis (SSTA) plays a key role in determining performance of the VLSI circuits implemented in state-of-the-art CMOS technology. A pre-requisite for emp...
Although verification and simulation tools are always improving, the results they provide remain hard to analyze and interpret. On one hand, verification sticks to the functional ...
