: Cryptographic algorithms – even when designed for easy implementability on general purpose architectures – still show a huge performance gap between implementations in softwa...
— Reduction in test power is important to improve battery life in portable devices employing periodic self-test, to increase reliability of testing and to reduce test-cost. In sc...
— Mismatches between sample-and-hold (S/H) circuits in a time-interleaved analog-to-digital data converter (ADC) cause undesirable distortions in the output spectrum. To reduce t...
