—The routing environment for the new emerging mixed-signal System-on-Package (SOP) technology is more advanced than that of the conventional PCB or MCM technology – pins are lo...
Abstract We propose a novel approach to preserve the synchronizing sequences of a circuit after retiming. The significance of this problem stems from the necessity of maintaining c...

Abstract— A split shared-bus architecture with multiple simultaneous bus accesses is proposed. Compared to traditional bus architectures, the performance of proposed architecture...
— The growing use of digital signal processors (DSPs) in embedded systems necessitates the use of optimizing compilers supporting their special architecture features. Beside the ...
- In this paper, we employ a monitor-based approach for on-chip bus (OCB) compliance test. To describe the OCB protocols,we proposea FSM model, which can help to extract the necess...
— Reducing the ever-growing leakage power is critical to power efficient designs. Leakage reduction techniques such as power-gating using sleep transistor insertion introduces la...
