- A closed form expression for the propagation delay of a CMOS gate driving a distributed RLC line is introduced that is within 5% of dynamic circuit simulations for a wide range o...
As VLSI technology enters the nanoscale regime, interconnect delay has become the bottleneck of the circuit timing. As one of the most powerful techniques for interconnect optimiz...
In this paper, we study the problem of retiming of sequential circuits with both interconnect and gate delay. Most retiming algorithms have assumed ideal conditions for the non-lo...
