– With the rapid increase of design complexity and the decrease of device features in nano-scale technologies, interconnection optimization in digital systems becomes more and mo...
When a signal traverses on-chip voltage domains, a level shifter is required. Inverters can handle a high to low voltage shift with minimal leakage. For a low to high voltage leve...
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a wellknown technique widely used for safety assessment in the area of safety-critical systems. However, FMEA is traditionally done man...
—The contribution of memory latency to execution time continues to increase, and latency hiding mechanisms become ever more important for efficient processor design. While high-...
Despite the growing research effort in formal verification, constraint-based random simulation remains an integral part of design validation, especially for large design componen...
