This paper investigates read-out schemes for a crossbar memory using CNTFET-based elements as cross-points. Two read-out schemes are presented in this paper; the first scheme bias...
An ultra-low area, current efficient voltage regulator appropriate for distributed point-of-load voltage regulation in high performance integrated circuits (ICs) is described in t...
The development of compiler-based mechanisms to reduce the percentage of hotspots and optimize the thermal profile of large register files has become an important issue. Thermal...
Higher operating frequencies have increased the importance of inductance in power and ground networks. The effective inductance of the power and ground network can be reduced with...
NBTI is one of the most important silicon reliability problems facing processor designers today. The impact of NBTI can be mitigated at both the circuit and microarchitecture leve...
Researchers are looking for alternatives to overcome the upcoming limits of conventional hardware technologies. Reversible logic thereby established itself as a promising directio...
