The design and synthesis of asynchronous circuits is gaining importance in both the industrial and academic worlds. Timed circuits are a class of asynchronous circuits that incorp...
Formal approaches to HW and system design have not been generally adopted, because designers often view the modelling concepts in these approaches as unsuitable for their problems...
In hardware - software codesign paradigm often a performance estimation of the system is needed for hardware - software partitioning. The tremendous growth of application specific...
This paper presents a detailed description of the application of a formal verification methodology to an ARM processor. The processor, a hybrid between the ARM7 and the StrongARM ...
Retiming is a transformation that optimizes a sequential circuit by relocating the registers. When the circuit has an initial state, one must compute an equivalent initial state f...
In this paper we address the problem of detailed FPGA routing using Boolean formulation methods. In the context of FPGA routing where routing resources are fixed, Boolean formulat...
Recently Lillis, et al. presented an elegant dynamic programming approach to RC interconnect delay optimization through driver sizing, repeater insertion, and, wire sizing which e...
Residue Number System based applications involve modulo-arithmetic which is typically implemented using look-up-tables (LUTs) for a small value of modulus. In this paper, we prese...
A new approach for CMOS op-amp circuit synthesis has proposed here. The approach is based on the observation that the rst order behavior of a MOS transistor in the saturation regi...
