This paper describes an improved approach to Boolean network optimization using internal don’t-cares. The improvements concern the type of don’t-cares computed, their scope, a...
—Presented are a methodology and a DFII-based tool for AC-stability analysis of a wide variety of closed-loop continuous-time (operational amplifiers and other linear circuits). ...
Transient errors are one of the major reasons for system downtime in many systems. While prior research has mainly focused on the impact of transient errors on datapath, caches an...
Let’s be clear from the outset: SoC can most certainly make use of UML; SoC just doesn’t need more UML, or even all of it. The advent of model mappings, coupled with marks tha...

This paper addresses two problems related to disjointsupport decomposition of Boolean functions. First, we present a heuristic for finding a subset of variables, X, which results...
Research studies have demonstrated the feasibility and advantages of Network-on-Chip (NoC) over traditional bus-based architectures but have not focused on compatibility communica...
Recent work on Differential Power Analysis shows that even mathematically-secure cryptographic protocols may be vulnerable at the physical implementation level. By measuring energ...
