Increasing values and spread in leakage current makes it impossible to distinguish between faulty and fault-free chips using single threshold method. Neighboring chips on a wafer ...
Control dominated embedded systems have to be designed for fast reaction to asynchronous external events occurring in the environment. Such systems must be able to perform signal ...

We consider the problem of minimizing the delay in transporting a signal across a distance in a VLSI circuit.The problem can be restated as a combined buffer insertion, buffer siz...
Functional decomposition is a process of splitting a complex circuit into smaller sub-circuits. This paper deals with the problem of determining the set of best free and bound var...
Abstract-- In battery driven portable applications, the minimization of energy, average power, peak power, and peak power differential are equally important to improve reliability ...
In this paper, we describe two new algorithms for datapath scheduling which aim at energy reduction while maintaining performance. The proposed algorithms, time constrained and re...
Cycling induced performance degradation of flash EEPROMs has been reported for VB=0 and VB<0 programming operation. Compared to VB=0, VB<0 programming shows lower interface ...
There is an increasing need for obtaining a reasonably accurate estimate of energy dissipation in SoC designs. Array structures have a significant contribution to the total system...
This paper combines an adaptive supply-voltage scheme with self-timed CMOS digital design, to achieve low power performance. The supply-voltage automatically tracks the input data...
