— The lack of robust tamper-proofing techniques in security applications has provided attackers the ability to virtually circumvent mathematically strong cryptographic primitive...
Estimating switching activity is a crucial step in optimizing circuits for low power. In this paper, a fast gate level switching activity estimator for combinational circuits will...
We present a novel multiple-threshold circuit using resonant-tunneling diodes (RTDs). The logic operation is based on detecting a switching sequence in the RTD circuit. This schem...
We present a general approach to the FPGA technology mapping problem that applies to any logic block composed of lookup tables LUTs and can yield optimal solutions. The connecti...
—In this paper we study the effectiveness of two power gating methods – transistor switches and MEMS switches – in reducing the power consumption of a design with a certain t...
