We address the problem of minimizing power consumption in behavioral synthesis of data-dominated circuits. The complex nature of power as a cost function implies that the effects ...
: We present several techniques for accelerating dynamic vector compaction for combinational and sequential circuits. A key feature of all our techniques is that they significantly...
This paper presents a method to characterize Nyquist rate A/D converters based on the use of a first order statistical behavioral model. The proposed model is derived from a very...
In a typical design
ow, the design may be altered slightly several times after the initial design cycle according to minor changes in the design specication either as a result o...
The traditional algorithm of Stockmeyer for area minimization of slicing
oorplans has time (and space) complexity O(n2 ) in the worst case, or O(nlogn) for balanced slicing. For ...
With an ever-increasing portion of the delay in highspeed CMOS chips attributable to the interconnect, interconnect-circuit design automation continues to grow in importance. By t...
In this paper, a new approach to analog test design based on the circuit design process, called Characteristic Observation Inference (COI), is presented. In many situations, it is...
