Our goal is to transform a low-level circuit design into a more representation. A pre-existing tool, Tranalyze [4], takes a switch-level circuit and generates a functionally equiv...
This paper presents a direct performance-driven placement algorithm for analog integrated circuits. The performance specications directly drive the layout tools without intermedi...

—We address the problem of code optimization for embedded DSP microprocessors. Such processors (e.g., those in the TMS320 series) have highly irregular datapaths, and conventiona...

- Power estimation in combinational modules is addressed from a probabilistic point of view. The zero-delay hypothesis is considered and under highly correlated input streams, the ...
Abstract A new method for power estimation in sequential circuits is presented that is based on a statistical estimation technique. By applying randomly generated input sequences t...
