Transistor tapering is a widely used technique applied to optimize the geometries of CMOS transistors in highperformance circuit design with a view to minimizing the delay of a FE...
The key performance of many analog circuits is directly related to accurate capacitor ratios. It is well known that capacitor ratio precision is greatly enhanced by paralleling id...
Optimizing power consumption at high-level is a critical step towards power-efficient digital system designs. This paper addresses the power management problem by scheduling a giv...
In this paper we present efficient closed-form formulas to estimate capacitive coupling-induced crosstalk noise for distributed RC coupling trees. The efficiency of our approach...
This paper proposes a comprehensive model for test planning in a core-based environment. The main contribution of this work is the use of several types of TAMs and the considerati...
We present a new passive model reduction algorithm based on the Laguerre expansion of the time response of interconnect networks. We derive expressions for the Laguerre coefficie...
This paper introduces several new component clustering techniques for the optimization of asynchronous systems. In particular, novel “Burst-Mode aware” restrictions are impose...
