With deep-sub-micron (DSM) technology, statistical timing analysis becomes increasingly crucial to characterize signal transmission over global interconnect wires. In this paper, ...
ion levels. The framework also supports the generation of test constraints, which can be satisfied using a constraint solver to generate tests. A compositional verification approac...
Functional correctness is a vital attribute of any hardware design. Unfortunately, due to extremely complex architectures, widespread components, such as microprocessors, are often...
—As process technology shrinks devices, circuits experience accelerated wearout. Monitoring wearout will be critical for improving the efficiency of error detection and correctio...
A central problem in functional verification is to check that a circuit block is producing correct outputs while enforcing that the environment is providing legal inputs. To attac...
