Multi-channel waveform monitoring technique enhances built-in test and diagnostic capability of mixed-signal VLSI circuits. An 8-channel prototype system incorporates adaptive sam...
A technique for evaluating noise figure suitable for BIST implementation is described. It is based on a low cost single-bit digitizer, which allows the simultaneous evaluation of ...

Embedded software continues to play an ever increasing role in the design of complex embedded applications. In part, the elevel of abstraction provided by a high-level programming...
We present a complete top-down design of a low-power multi-channel clock recovery circuit based on gated current-controlled oscillators. The flow includes several tools and method...

In nanometer scaled CMOS devices significant increase in the subthreshold, the gate and the reverse biased junction band-toband-tunneling (BTBT) leakage, results in the large incr...
Conventional cache models are not suited for real-time parallel processing because tasks may flush each other’s data out of the cache in an unpredictable manner. In this way th...

Functional verification of microprocessors is one of the most complex and expensive tasks in the current system-on-chip design process. A significant bottleneck in the validatio...
A class of discrete event synthesis problems can be reduced to solving language equations F • X ⊆ S, where F is the fixed component and S the specification. Sequential synthes...
