In this paper we investigate activity-driven clock trees to reduce the dynamic power consumption of synchronous digital CMOS circuits. Sections of an activity-driven clock tree ca...
Traditionally, clock network layout is performed after cell placement. Such methodology is facing a serious problem in nanometer IC designs where people tend to use huge clock buff...
This paper presents a state assignment technique called priority encoding which uses multi-code assignment plus clock gating to reduce power dissipation in sequential circuits. Th...
—Pre-bond testing of 3-D stacked integrated circuits (ICs) involves testing each individual die before bonding. The overall yield of 3-D ICs improves with pre-bond testability be...
