Don't-care conditions provide additional flexibility in logic synthesis and optimization. However, most work only focuses on the gate level because it is difficult to handle ...
The choice of an appropriate hardware representation model is key to successful evolution of digital circuits. One of the most popular models is cartesian genetic programming, whi...
Input vector control (IVC) technique utilizes the stack effect in CMOS circuit to apply the minimum leakage vector (MLV) to the circuit at the sleep mode to reduce leakage. Additi...
Circuit reliability is affected by various fabrication-time and run-time effects. Fabrication-induced process variation has significant impact on circuit performance and reliabilit...
