In this paper we present an input pattern independent method to compute the maximum current envelope, which is an upper bound over all possible current waveforms drawn by a circui...
From 1985-1993, the MCNC regularly introduced and maintained circuit benchmarks for use by the Design Automation community. However, during the last five years, no new circuits h...
—High-frequency circuits are notoriously difficult to lay out because of the tight coupling between device-level placement and wiring. Given that successful electrical performan...
Register files (RF) represent a substantial portion of the energy budget in modern processors, and are growing rapidly with the trend towards wider instruction issue. The actual ...
In this paper we propose a set of rules for consistent estimation of the real performance and power features of the latch and flip-flop structures. A new simulation and optimizati...

Multi-Voltage CMOS MVCMOS is a design methodology for very low power supply voltages that uses low-threshold transistors in series with the supply rails. The control voltages on...
