As VLSI fabrication technology progresses to 65nm feature sizes and smaller, transistors no longer operate as ideal switches. This motivates the verification of digital circuits us...
This paper presents an all digital measurement circuit called "gated oscillator" for capturing waveforms of dynamic power supply noise. The gated oscillator is constructe...
With continued scaling of technology into nanometer regimes, the impact of coupling induced delay variations is significant. While several coupling-aware static timers have been pr...

In this paper, we present the complete design and architectural details of MAIZEROUTER. MAIZEROUTER reflects a significant leap in progress over existing publicly available routing...
Traditionally, clock network layout is performed after cell placement. Such methodology is facing a serious problem in nanometer IC designs where people tend to use huge clock buff...
In modern circuit design, it is difficult to provide reliable parametric yield prediction since the real distribution of process data is hard to measure. Most existing approaches ...
Horizontally Partitioned Caches (HPCs) are a promising architectural feature to reduce the energy consumption of the memory subsystem. However, the energy reduction obtained using...
