Design debugging is a major bottleneck in modern VLSI design flows as both the design size and the length of the error trace contribute to its inherent complexity. With typical des...
This paper presents analysis methods for energy estimation in RC trees driven by time-varying voltage sources, e.g., buffers, timevarying power supplies, and resonant clock genera...
The inherent reconfigurability of SRAM-based FPGAs enables the use of configurations optimized for the problem at hand. Optimized configurations are smaller and faster than their g...
As power consumption of the clock tree in modern VLSI designs tends to dominate, measures must be taken to keep it under control. This paper introduces an approach for reducing cl...
In order to cope with the ever increasing complexity of todays application specific integrated circuits, a building block based design methodology is established. The system is co...
