Decreasing feature sizes and increasing package densities are making thermal issues extremely important in IC design. Uneven thermal maps and hot spots in ICs cause physical stres...
In this paper, we address the problem of the efficient exploration of the architectural design space for parameterized systems. Since the design space is multi-objective, our aim ...

The characterization as well as the control of the electromagnetic emission of integrated circuits is an important step in the design process of state of the art integrated circui...
This paper presents a hybrid adiabatic content addressable memory (CAM). The CAM uses an adiabatic switching technique to reduce the energy consumption in the match line while kee...

One of the fundamental problems in Deep Sub Micron (DSM) circuits is Simultaneous Switching Noise (SSN), which causes voltage fluctuations in the circuit power/ground networks. In...
The use of multiple supply voltages for energy and average power reduction is well researched and several works have appeared in the literature. However, in low power design using...
