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...
Ever shrinking device sizes and innovative micro-architectural and circuit design techniques have made it possible to have multi-million transistor systems running at multi-gigahe...
With increase of clock frequency, on-chip wire inductance starts to play an important role in power/ground distribution analysis, although it has not been considered so far. We pe...
Adaptive Body Biasing (ABB) is a popularly used technique to mitigate the increasing impact of manufacturing process variations on leakage power dissipation. The efficacy of the ...
This paper introduces pass-transistor logic design with dualthreshold voltages. A set of single-rail, fully restored, passtransistor gates are presented. Logic transistors are imp...
