We study the effectiveness of functional tests for full scan circuits. Functional tests are important for design validation, and they potentially have a high defect coverage indep...
- The objective of this paper is to provide lower and upper bounds for the switching activity on the state lines in Finite State Machines (FSMs). Using a Markov chain model for the...
Abstract We observe that the switching activity at a circuit node, also called the transition density, can be extremely sensitive to the circuit internal delays. As a result, sligh...
This article deals with an approach for managing scheduling in semiconductor manufacturing facilities. The proposed approach ensures consistency between global and local schedulin...
We study the kinematic geometry of general 3-RPR planar parallel robots with actuated base joints. These robots, while largely overlooked, have simple direct kinematics and large ...
