Incremental physical design is an important methodology towards achieving design closure for high-performance large-scale circuits. Placement tools must accommodate incremental ch...
A 550MHz 64b PowerPC processor was developed for fabrication in Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) technology from a processor previously designed and fabricated in bulk CMOS [1]. Both th...
Creating functional tests that work on an ATE has always been a significant challenge [1]. This paper identifies the fundamental mechanisms for functional test failures of an SOC ...
System-level design techniques promise a way to lessen the productivity gap between fabrication and design. Unfortunately, these techniques have been slow to catch on, in part bec...
Spatial image processing chips, known as silicon retinas, are based on the architecture of vertebrate retina and can be mathematically represented as the Laplacian of Gaussian (LO...
