–An FPGA switch box is said to be hyper-universal if it is routable for all possible surrounding multi-pin net topologies satisfying the routing resource constraints. It is desir...
Abstract— Deep submicron technology scaling has two major ramifications on the design process. First, reduced feature size significantly increases wire delay, thus resulting in...
To implement high-performance global interconnect without impacting the performance of existing blocks, the use of buffer blocks is increasingly popular in structured-custom and b...

The Charge Sharing (CS) problem is one of notorious noise problems in domino circuits design and test. In this paper, this problem is thoroughly investigated by considering circui...
This paper proposes the concept of potential slack and show it is an effective metric of combinational circuit performance. We provide several methods for estimating potential sla...
