Abstract— Over the last decade, the design of ultra-lowpower digital circuits in subthreshold regime has been driven by the quest for minimum energy per operation. In this contri...

This paper presents an efficient method for optimizing the design of power/ground (P/G) networks by using locally regular, globally irregular grids. The procedure divides the pow...
In a behavioral synthesis system, a typical approach used to guide the scheduler is to impose hard constraints on the relative timing between operations considering performance, a...
As thermal problems become more evident, new physical design paradigms and tools are needed to alleviate them. Incorporating thermal vias into integrated circuits (ICs) is a promi...
