Concerned by the wall that Moore’s Law is expected to hit in the next decade, the integrated circuit community is turning to emerging nanotechnologies for continued device impro...
This paper proposes a yield optimization method for standard-cells under timing constraints. Yield-aware logic synthesis and physical optimization require yield-enhanced standard ...
— This paper presents Hermes, a depth-optimal LUT based FPGA mapping algorithm. The presented algorithm is based on a new strategy for finding LUTs allowing to find a good LUT ...
A regular circuit structure called a Whirlpool PLA (WPLA) is proposed. It is suitable for the implementation of finite state machines as well as combinational logic. A WPLA is ...
— Reducing the ever-growing leakage power is critical to power efficient designs. Leakage reduction techniques such as power-gating using sleep transistor insertion introduces la...
