Precomputation is a recently proposed logic optimization technique which selectively disables the inputs of a sequential logic circuit, thereby reducing switching activity and pow...
This paper addresses the problem of efficiently and accurately generating two-vector tests for crosstalk induced effects, such as pulses, signal speedup and slowdown, in digital c...
With increasingly smaller feature sizes and higher on-chip densities, the power dissipation of VLSI systems has become a primary concern for designers. This paper first describes...
- Designing a power-gating structure with high performance in the active mode and low leakage and short wakeup time during standby mode is an important and challenging task. This p...
The power dissipated by system-level buses is the largest contribution to the global power of complex VLSI circuits. Therefore, the minimization of the switching activity at the I...
