Operating an integrated circuit at the prescribed nominal supply voltage is not preferable for reliable circuit operation under temperature fluctuations. A design methodology base...
We study gate delay variation caused by crosstalk aggressor alignment, i.e., difference of signal arrival times in coupled neighboring interconnects. This effect is as significan...
In modern IC design, the number of long on-chip wires has been growing rapidly because of the increasing circuit complexity. Interconnect delay has dominated over gate delay as te...

Two generations of a wideband low noise amplifier (LNA) employing noise canceling principle have been synthesized. The first generation design was fabricated in a 0.35 µm SiGe Bi...
Process technology and environment-induced variability of gates and wires in VLSI circuits make timing analyses of such circuits a challenging task. Process variation can have a s...
Reliability has become a significant challenge for system design in new process technologies. Higher integration levels dramatically increase power densities, which leads to high...
Most of the logic synthesis algorithms are not scalable for large networks and, for this reason, partitioning is often applied. However traditional mincut-based partitioning techn...
In this paper we propose a hardware real time operating system (HW-RTOS) solution that makes use of a dedicated hardware in order to replace the standard support provided by the P...
