The synthesis of clock network in the presence of process variation is becoming a vital design issue towards the performance of digital circuits. In this paper, we propose a clock ...
— In this paper, a methodology for analyzing closed loop clock distribution and active deskewing networks is proposed. An active clock distribution and deskewing network is model...
— This paper propose a systematic method to select power/ground wires that should be considered in interconnect RL extraction. The return current distribution affects loop charac...
—Dynamic programmable logic arrays (PLAs) which are built of the NOR–NOR structure, have been very popular in high performance design because of their high-speed and predictabl...
Abstract— This paper presents a post-route gate-sizing algorithm for coupling-noise reduction that constrains the yield loss under process variations. Algorithms for coupling-noi...
Abstract— As FPGA designs in 65nm are being explored, reducing leakage power becomes an important design issue. A significant portion of the FPGA leakage is expended in the unus...
