Distributing power and ground to a vertically integrated system is a complex and difficult task. Interplane communication and power delivery are achieved by through silicon vias (...
To assist in dynamic assertion-based verification, we present a method to automatically build a test vector generator from a temporal property. Based on the duality between monito...
In this paper, a novel design is proposed for eliminating glitches and signal bounces during wake-up events that result from incorporating multi-threshold CMOS (MTCMOS) into async...

The rapidly expanding diversity of technology available at the nanoscale is disrupting the existing transistorcentric microelectronics design paradigm, resulting in nearly decade-l...
Current lithography techniques use a light wavelength of 193nm to print sub-65nm features. This introduces process variations which cause mismatches between desired and actual waf...
In this paper, we present the design of a P4 (Power-PerformanceProcess-Parasitic) aware voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) at nanoCMOS technologies. Through simulations, we have ...
Modern embedded devices (e.g., PDAs, mobile phones) are now incorporating Java as a very popular implementation language in their designs. These new embedded systems include multi...
1 Soft errors caused by cosmic particles and radiation emitted by the packaging are an important problem in contemporary microprocessors. Parity bits are used to detect single bit ...
Physical Unclonable Functions (PUF) and True Random Number Generators (TRNG) are two very useful components in secure system design. PUFs can be used to extract chip-unique signat...
