Integrated Circuit manufacturing complexities have resulted in decreasing product yields and reliabilities. This process has been accelerated with the advent of very deep sub-micr...
In this paper we describe a hardware design method for memory and register arrays that allows the application of formal equivalence checking for comparing a high-level register tr...
—We survey state-of-the-art optimization methods that target low power dissipation in VLSI circuits. Optimizations at the circuit, logic, architectural and system levels are cons...
The path-delay fault simulation of functional tests on complex circuits such as current processor-based systems is a daunting task. The amount of computing power and memory needed...

Due to aggressive technology scaling, VLSI circuits are becoming increasingly susceptible to transient errors caused by single-event-upsets (SEUs). In this paper, we introduce two...
