Achieving high performance under a peak temperature limit is a first-order concern for VLSI designers. This paper presents a new model of a thermally-managed system, where a stoch...
Soft errors, once only of concern in memories, are beginning to affect logic as well. Determining the soft error rate (SER) of a combinational circuit involves three main masking ...
High efficiency low voltage DC-DC conversion is a key enabler to the design of power-efficient integrated circuits. Typically a star configuration of the DC-DC converters, where o...
In this paper, we propose TROY, the first track router with yield-driven wire planning to optimize yield loss due to random defects. As the probability of failure (POF) computed f...
The complexity and physical distribution of modern active-safety automotive applications requires the use of distributed architectures. These architectures consist of multiple ele...
