One of the most challenging issues in today's high-performance VLSI design is to ensure high-quality power supply to each individual circuit blocks. Reduced power supply volt...
High level synthesis transformations play a major part in shaping the properties of the final circuit. However, most optimizations are performed without much knowledge of the fina...

The inherent distortion of the structural regularity of VLSI datapaths after logic optimization has until now precluded dense regular layouts of optimized datapaths despite their ...
This paper investigates methods for minimizing the impact of process variation on clock skew using buffer and wire sizing. While most papers on clock trees ignore data-path circuit...
