The paper presents a novel hierarchical approach to test pattern generation for sequential circuits based on an input model of mixed-level decision diagrams. A method that handles,...
— We present an efficient method for automatically extracting unified amplitude/phase macromodels of arbitrary oscillators from their SPICE-level circuit descriptions. Such com...
− In this paper, we present a new timing-driven placement algorithm, which attempts to minimize zigzags and crisscrosses on the timing-critical paths of a circuit. We observed th...
We propose a circuit performance oriented device optimization methodology using pre-silicon parameters and critical paths which represent the performance of the chip. Based on our...
—The purpose of secure devices such as smartcards is to protect secret information against software and hardware attacks. Implementation of the appropriate protection techniques ...
