Abstract: An optimization algorithm for the design of combinational circuits that are robust to single-event upsets (SEUs) is described. A simple, highly accurate model for the SEU...
Reliability of nanometer circuits is becoming a major concern in today’s VLSI chip design due to interferences from multiple noise sources as well as radiation-induced soft erro...
Quasi delay insensitive circuits are functionally independent of delays in gates and wires (except for some particular wires). Such asynchronous circuits offer high robustness but...
With increasing process variation, binning has become an important technique to improve the values of fabricated chips, especially in high performance microprocessors where transpa...
We present a technique for synthesizing power- as well as area-optimized circuits from hierarchical data flow graphs under throughput constraints. We allow for the use of complex...
