A sensitivity analysis of resonant H-tree clock distribution networks is presented in this paper for a TSMC 0.18 μm CMOS technology. The analysis focuses on the effect of the dri...
Booth encoding is believed to yield faster multiplier designs with higher energy consumption. 16x16-bit Booth and NonBooth multipliers are analyzed in energy and delay space under...
Clock skew scheduling has been traditionally considered as a tool for improving the clock period in a sequential circuit. Timing slack is "stolen" from fast combinationa...
As VLSI technology reaches 45nm technology node, leakage power optimization has become a major design challenge. Threshold voltage (vt) assignment has been extensively studied, du...
The high leakage current in nano-meter regimes is becoming a significant portion of power dissipation in CMOS circuits as threshold voltage, channel length, and gate oxide thickne...
