Approaches to achieve low-power and high-speed VLSI's are described with the emphasis on techniques across multiple technology and design levels. To suppress the leakage curr...
Fourier-envelope algorithms are an important component of the mixed-signal/RF verification toolbox. In this paper, we address the unpredictability and lack of robustness that has...
- This paper addresses the problem of maximizing capacity utilization of the battery power source in a portable electronic system under latency and loss rate constraints. First, a ...
With increasing design sizes and adoption of System on a Chip (SoC) methodology, design synthesis and test automation tools are hitting capacity and performance bottlenecks. Curre...
Multiport memories are extensively used in modern system designs because of the performance advantages they offer. The increased memory access throughput could lead to significan...
A novel circuit topology for inductive coupling between interconnecting wires is presented. The model is local, i.e., only coupling between neighboring wires is explicitly modeled...
In this paper we present an advanced functional extraction tool for automatic generation of high-level RTL from switch-level circuit netlist representation. The tool is called FEV...
Existing static timing analyzers make several assumptions about circuits, implicitly trading off accuracy for speed. In this paper we examine the validity of these assumptions, no...
