Abstract: We describe a technique to estimate the energy consumed by speed-independent asynchronous (clockless) control circuits. Because speed-independent circuits are hazard-free...

This paper provides a theoretical basis for eliminating or reducing the energy consumption due to transients in a synchronous digital circuit. The transient energy is minimized wh...

Capacitance coupling can have a significant impact on gate delay in today's deep submicron circuits. In this paper we present a static timing analysis tool that calculates th...
Wire and gate delays are accounted to have equal, or nearly equal, effect on circuit behavior in modern design techniques. This paper introduces a new approach to verify circuits ...

As technology continues to scale beyond 100nm, there is a significant increase in performance uncertainty of CMOS logic due to process and environmental variations. Traditional c...

Wire pipelining has been proposed as a viable mean to break the discrepancy between decreasing gate delays and increasing wire delays in deep-submicron technologies. Far from bein...
Deep submicron technology calls for new design techniques, in which wire and gate delays are accounted to have equal or nearly equal effect on circuit behavior. Asynchronous speed...
