{ Hierarchy plays a signicant role in the design of digital and analog circuits. At each level of the hierarchy it becomes essential to evaluate if a sub-block design is feasible ...
This paper presents a low power driven synthesis framework for the unique class of nonregenerative Boolean Read-Once Functions (BROF). A two-pronged approach is adopted, where the...
Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are regularly used both for the solution of scheduling problems, and for the creation of digital circuit designs. This paper describes a unified app...
In this paper, we consider the problem of maximizing the battery life (or duration of service) in battery-powered CMOS circuits. We first show that the battery efficiency (or utili...
Improvements in semiconductor integration density and the resulting problem of having to manage designs of increasing complexity is an old one, but still current. The new challeng...
