Crosstalk effects degrade the integrity of signals traveling on long interconnects and must be addressed during manufacturing testing. External testing for crosstalk is expensive ...
This paper describes the first application of the Genevieve test generation methodology. The Genevieve approach uses semi-formal techniques derived from "model-checking"...
Due to larger buses (length, width) and deep sub-micron effects where coupling capacitances between bus lines are in the same order of magnitude as base capacitances, power consum...
The interlock and forwarding logic is considered the tricky part of a fully-featured pipelined microprocessor and especially debugging these parts delays the hardware design proce...
