In this paper we analyse some methodological concerns that have to be faced in a design flow which contains automatic synthesis phases from high-level, system descriptions. In par...
Channel coding is a key element of any digital wireless communication system since it minimizes the effects of noise and interference on the transmitted signal. In thirdgeneration...
This paper presents STEPS, an innovative softwarebased approach for testing P1500-compliant SoCs. STEPS is based on the concept that the ATE is not considered as an initiator appl...
In this paper we describe how we applied a BIST-based approach to the test of a logic core to be included in System-on-achip (SoC) environments. The approach advantages are the ab...

This paper proposes a low-energy solution for CAMbased highly associative I-caches using a segmented wordline and a predictor-based instruction fetch mechanism. Not all instructio...
Bounded model checking (BMC) has gained widespread industrial use due to its relative scalability. Its exhaustiveness over all valid input vectors allows it to expose arbitrarily ...
In this paper, we present various challenges that arise in the delivery and exchange of multimedia information to mobile devices. Specifically, we focus on techniques for maintain...

We discuss the problem of concurrent error detection (CED) with bounded latency in finite state machines (FSMs). The objective of this approach is to reduce the overhead of CED, a...
