—Noise-tolerant XOR-based conditional keeper for high fan-in dynamic circuits is presented in this paper. Noise immunity is enhanced by conditionally turning on the conditional k...
Aggressive process scaling and increasing clock rates have made crosstalk noise an important issue in VLSI design. Switching on adjacent wires on long bus lines can increase delay...
We address the problem of minimizing power consumption in behavioral synthesis of data-dominated circuits. The complex nature of power as a cost function implies that the effects ...
Interconnect has become the dominating factor in determining circuit performance and reliability in deep submicron designs. In this embedded tutorial, we first discuss the trends...
