This paper presents a design methodology that was applied to the design of a 2.4GHz dual-core SPARC64TM microprocessor with 90nm CMOS technology. It focuses on the newly adopted t...
Abstract--Advances in very large-scale integration technology make clock skew more susceptible to process variations. Notwithstanding efficient exact zero-skew algorithms, clock sk...
With the decreasing feature sizes during VLSI fabrication and the dominance of interconnect delay over that of gates, control logic and wiring no longer have a negligible impact o...
—On-chip power distribution grids with multiple supply voltages are discussed in this paper. Two types of interdigitated and paired power distribution grids with multiple supply ...
