Reliability-driven layout decompaction for electromigration failure avoidance in complex mixed-signal IC designs
The negative effect of electromigration on signal and power line lifetime and functional reliability is an increasingly important problem for the physical design of integrated cir...

A lattice-based framework for the classification and design of asynchronous pipelines
This paper presents a unifying framework for the modeling of asynchronous pipeline circuits. A pipeline protocol is captured in a graph-based model which defines the partial order...

On the design of very small transconductance OTAs with reduced input offset
In this paper it will be demonstrated, from the theory and measurements, that series-parallel (SP) mirrors allow building current copiers with copy factors of thousands, without d...

Modeling and minimization of PMOS NBTI effect for robust nanometer design
Negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) has become the dominant reliability concern for nanoscale PMOS transistors. In this paper, a predictive model is developed for the deg...
