In recent years, due to rapid advances in VLSI manufacturing technology capable of packing more and more devices and wires on a chip, crosstalk has emerged as a serious problem af...
In this paper we analyze the performance of a mixed built-in-self-test (BiST) for RF IC digital transceivers, where a baseband processor can be used both as a test pattern generat...
This paper proposes a fast decoupling capacitance (decap) allocation and budgeting algorithm for both early stage decap estimation and later stage decap minimization in today’s ...

In this paper, we present a simple analytical equation for capturing phase errors in 3-stage ring oscillators. The model, based on a simple but useful idealization of the ring osc...
We present a novel temperature/leakage sensor, developed for high-speed, low-power, monitoring of processors and complex VLSI chips. The innovative idea is the use of 4T SRAM cell...
