Many System-on-a-Chip devices would benefit from the inclusion of reprogrammable logic on the silicon die, as it can add general computing ability, provide run-time reconfigurabil...
When VLSI technology scales toward 45nm, the lithography wavelength stays at 193nm. This large gap results in strong refractive effects in lithography. Consequently, it is a huge...
Soft errors, once only of concern in memories, are beginning to affect logic as well. Determining the soft error rate (SER) of a combinational circuit involves three main masking ...
Our objective was to determine the most energy efficient 64b static CMOS adder architecture, for a range of high-performance delay targets. We examine extensively carry-lookahead ...
This paper presents a new method to extract functionally equivalent structures from logic netlists. It uses a fast functional regularity extraction algorithm based on structural e...
