Global routing is an important step in the physical design process. In this paper, we propose a new global routing algorithm Archer, which resolves some of the most common problem...
While circuit density and power efficiency increase with each major advance in IC technology, reliability with respect to soft errors tends to decrease. Current solutions to this...

— Energy efficiency has become one of the most important issues to be addressed in today’s System-on-a-Chip (SoC) designs. One way to lower the power consumption is to reduce ...
Abstract— Rotary traveling-wave oscillator (RTWO) is a recently proposed transmission-line approach for multi-gigahertz rate clock generation. RTWO has the characteristics of bot...
— Determination of maximum operating frequencies (Fmax) during manufacturing test at different operating voltages is required to: (a) to ensure that, for a Dynamic Voltage and Fr...
Abstract—It is important to reduce the Optical Proximity Correction (OPC) runtime while maintaining a good result quality. In this paper, we obtain a better formula, which theore...
Constrained random simulation is the main workhorse in today’s hardware verification flows. It requires the random generation of input stimuli that obey a set of declaratively...
Abstract—Because of the today’s market demand for highperformance, high-density portable hand-held applications, electronic system design technology has shifted the focus from ...
An algorithm for technology mapping of combinational and sequential logic networks is proposed and applied to mapping into K-input lookup-tables (K-LUTs). The new algorithm avoids...
