Timing optimizations during logic synthesis has become a necessary step to achieve timing closure in VLSI designs. This often involves “shortening” all paths found in the circ...
Soft errors, once only of concern in memories, are beginning to affect logic as well. Determining the soft error rate (SER) of a combinational circuit involves three main masking ...
In this paper, we propose a new logic synthesis methodology to deal with the increasing importance of the interconnect delay in deepsubmicron technologies. We first show that conv...

Traditional FPGA design flows have treated logic synthesis and physical design as separate steps. With the recent advances in technology, the lack of information on the physical ...
Logical effort (LE) is a linear technique for modelling the delay of a circuit in a technology independent manner. It offers the potential to simplify delay models for FPGAs and g...
