Due to the increasing complexity of today's circuits a high degree of automation in the design process is mandatory. The detection of faults and design errors is supported qu...
Application-Specific Instruction-set Processors (ASIP) can improve execution speed by using custom instructions. Several ASIP design automation flows have been proposed recently. ...
This paper presents a transistor optimization methodology for low-power analog integrated CMOS circuits, relying on the physics-based gm/ID characteristics as a design optimizatio...
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 ...
Designs which do not fully utilize their arithmetic datapath components typically exhibit a significant overhead in power consumption. Whenever a module performs an operation who...
