This paper studies the impact of variability on the noise robustness of logic gates using noise rejection curves (NRCs). NRCs allow noise pulses to be modeled using magnitude-dura...
The relentless push for high performance in custom digital circuits has led to renewed emphasis on circuit optimization or tuning. The parameters of the optimization are typically...
This paper presents a new technique, called Symbolic Program Decomposition (or SPD), for symbolic execution of multiple paths that is more scalable than existing techniques, which...
Noise affects circuit operation by increasing gate delays and causing latches to capture incorrect values. This paper proposes a method of characterizing correlation of signal tra...
