The nature of IC design has is necessarily evolving to a more data-centric design flow in which EDA tools share a common information in a design database without the negative cost...
In this paper we propose a new design methodology targeted for core-based designs using parameterized macrocells (PMC’s). This methodology provides the flexibility for instance...

We present a new technique for generating compact dictionaries for cause-effect diagnosis in BIST. This approach relies on the use of three compact dictionaries: (i) D1, containin...
—As the operating frequency of digital systems increases and voltage swing decreases, it becomes very important to characterize and analyze power distribution networks (PDNs) acc...
