With shrinking noise margins and increasing numbers of on-chip noise sources, power grid design has become a critical performance determinant. This paper presents an overview of r...
In this paper a new low power and high performance adder cell using a new design style called "Bridge" is proposed. The bridge design style enjoys a high degree of regula...
Power dissipation is becoming the most challenging design constraint in nanometer technologies. Among various design implementation schemes, standard cell ASICs offer the best pow...
