Robust Energy-Efficient Adder Topologies
In this paper we explore the relationship between adder topology and energy efficiency. We compare the energy-delay tradeoff curves of selected 32-bit adder topologies, to determi...

Topology optimization of structured power/ground networks
This paper presents an efficient method for optimizing the design of power/ground (P/G) networks by using locally regular, globally irregular grids. The procedure divides the pow...

Trade-off design of analog circuits using goal attainment and "Wave Front" sequential quadratic programming
One of the main tasks in analog design is the sizing of the circuit parameters, such as transistor lengths and widths, in order to obtain optimal circuit performances, such as hig...

Optimization of critical paths in circuits with level-sensitive latches
A simple extension of the critical path method is presented which allows more accurate optimization of circuits with level-sensitive latches. The extended formulation provides a s...
