: Due to exponential increase in subthreshold leakage with technology scaling and temperature increase, leakage power is becoming a major fraction of total power in the active mode...
Heat removal and power delivery have become two major reliability concerns in 3D stacked IC technology. For thermal problem, two possible solutions exist: thermal-through-silicon-...
Abstract— This paper addresses the module assignment problem in pinlimited designs under the stacked-Vdd circuit paradigm. A partition-based algorithm is presented for efficient...
The Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) is a fundamental block in RF IC architectures. Today’s wireless communication applications do require a high level of performances from s...
