Very Low Voltage (VLV) testing has been proposed to increase flaw detection in bulk silicon CMOS integrated circuits and this paper explores these and additional advantages in the...
Datapath width optimization is very effective for reducing the area of a custom-made embedded system. The trivial way of optimization is to iteratively customize, evaluate, and r...
As integrated circuits become more and more complex, the ability to make post-fabrication changes will become more and more attractive. This ability can be realized using programm...
Placement and routing are the most time-consuming processes in automatically synthesizing and configuring circuits for field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). In this paper, we ...
The increasing prominence of portable systems and the need to limit power consumption and hence, heat dissipation in very high density VLSI chips have led to rapid and innovative ...
Prior to the mid 1980s, the dominance of through-hole packaging of integrated circuits (ICs) provided easy access to nearly every pin of every chip on a printed circuit board. Pro...
The characterization as well as the control of the electromagnetic emission of integrated circuits is an important step in the design process of state of the art integrated circui...
The current trends in high performance integrated circuits are towards faster and more powerful circuits in the giga-hertz range and even further. As the more complex Integrated C...
