An energy optimization is proposed that addresses the nontrivial digital contribution to power and impact on performance in high-speed mixed-signal circuits. Parallel energy and b...
This paper presents a generalized formulation of the periodic steady-state analysis for oscillators. The new formulation finds the value of a circuit parameter that results in a d...

Satisfiability (SAT) solvers often benefit from a preprocessing of the formula to be decided. For formulae in conjunctive normal form (CNF), subsumed clauses may be removed or par...
Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) are innovative circuit primitives that extract secrets from physical characteristics of integrated circuits (ICs). We present PUF designs that...
Partitioning and clustering are crucial steps in circuit layout for handling large scale designs enabled by the deep submicron technologies. Retiming is an important sequential lo...
