This paper describes the design of two half-rate clock and data recovery circuits for optical receivers. Targeting the data rate of 10-Gb/s, the rst implementation incorporates a ...
In modern embedded systems including communication and multimedia applications, large fraction of power is consumed during memory access and data transfer. Thus, buses should be d...
We highlight several fundamental challenges to designing highperformance integrated circuits in nanometer-scale technologies (i.e. drawn feature sizes < 100 nm). Dynamic power ...
Personal firewalls are an important aspect of security for home computer users, but little attention has been given to their usability. We conducted semi-structured interviews to ...
