In this work, we present a genetic algorithm based thermal-aware floorplanning framework that aims at reducing hot spots and distributing temperature evenly across a chip while op...
Abstract— Reliability enhancements are traditionally implemented through redundancies at the system level or through the use of harden-cell-designs at the circuit level. Reliabil...
Abstract - This paper studies design considerations for lowpower ultra wideband (UWB) receiver architectures. First, three different architectures for the impulse-radio UWB transce...
As the scale and complexity of VLSI circuits increase, Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools become much more sophisticated and are held to increasing standards of quality. New...
This paper discusses clock skew due to manufacturing variability and environmental change. In clock tree design, transition time constraint is an important design parameter that c...
With continued aggressive process scaling in the subwavelength lithographic regime, resolution enhancement techniques (RETs) such as optical proximity correction (OPC) are an inte...

Leakage power has become one of the most critical design concerns for the system-level chip designer. Multi-threshold techniques have been used to reduce runtime leakage power wit...
Today's System-on-a-Chip (SoC) design methodology provides an efficient way to develop highly integrated systems on a single chip by utilizing pre-designed intellectual prope...
