Statistical behavior of device leakage and threshold voltage shows a strong width dependency under microscopic random dopant fluctuation. Leakage estimation using the conventional...
Commercial tools for standard-cell based datapath design are here classed according to design flows, and the advantages of each class are discussed with the results of two test ci...
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...
Wireless communications requires a new approach to implement the algorithms for new standards. The computational demands of these standards are outstripping the ability of traditi...
CT The traditional approach to worst-case static-timing analysis is becoming unacceptably conservative due to an ever-increasing number of circuit and process effects. We propose a...
