Abstract— Noise induced by impedance discontinuities from VLSI packaging is one of the leading challenges facing system level designers in the next decade. The performance of IC ...
In this paper, we propose a novel on-chip voltage drop reduction technique for on-chip power delivery networks of VLSI systems in the presence of variational leakage current sourc...
We address the problem of minimizing power consumption in behavioral synthesis of data-dominated circuits. The complex nature of power as a cost function implies that the effects ...
