The existence of non-uniform thermal gradients on the substrate in high performance IC’s can significantly impact the performance of global on-chip interconnects. This issue is...
In deep submicron circuits, thermal hot spots and high temperature gradients increase the cooling costs, and degrade reliability and performance. In this paper, we propose a low-co...
In this paper, a temperature-to-frequency transducer suitable for thermal monitoring on FPGAs is presented. The dependence between delay and temperature is used to produce a freque...
In deep submicron circuits, elevation in temperatures has brought new challenges in reliability, timing, performance, cooling costs and leakage power. Conventional thermal managem...
— Clock frequency and transistor density increases have resulted in elevated chip temperatures. In order to meet temperature constraints while still exploiting the performance op...
