In this paper we present a method formodeling asynchronous digital circuits by timed automata. The constructed timed automata serve as \mechanical" and veri able objects for a...
Carbon Nanotube Field-Effect Transistors (CNFETs) show big promise as extensions to silicon-CMOS because: 1) Ideal CNFETs can provide significant energy and performance benefits o...

Self-timed circuits present an attractive solution to the problem of process variation. However, implementing selftimed combinational logic can be complex and expensive. This pape...
Soft errors, once only of concern in memories, are beginning to affect logic as well. Determining the soft error rate (SER) of a combinational circuit involves three main masking ...
