Recently, several algorithms for interconnect optimization via repeater insertion and wire sizing have appeared based on the Elmore delay model. Using the Devgan noise metric [6] ...
We revisit a basic element of modern signal integrity analysis, the modeling of worst-case coupling capacitance effects within a switch factor (SF) based methodology. We show that...
In this paper, we present a flexible accelerator designed for networking applications. The accelerator can be utilized efficiently by a variety of Network Processor designs. Most ...
Chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) and other manufacturing steps in very deep-submicron VLSI have varying effects on device and interconnect features, depending on the local ...
Achieving design closure is one of the biggest headaches for modern VLSI designers. This problem is exacerbated by high-level design automation tools that ignore increasingly impo...
