In this paper we present a new fanout optimization algorithm which is particularly suitable for digital circuits designed with submicron CMOS technologies. Restricting the class o...
Timing-driven placement is a critical step in nanometerscale physical synthesis. To improve design timing on a global scale, net-weight based global timing-driven placement is a c...

Ever-increasing integrated circuit (IC) power densities and peak temperatures threaten reliability, performance, and economical cooling. To address these challenges, thermal analy...
The relatively poor scaling of interconnect in modern digital circuits necessitates a number of design optimizations, which must typically be iterated several times to meet the spe...
Recent work has shown that the use of switched current methods can provide an effective route to implementation of analog IC functionality using a standard digital CMOS process. Fu...
