—In this paper, we present a new block budgeting algorithm which speeds up timing closure in timing driven hierarchical flows. After a brief description of the addressed flow, ...
Delay evaluation is always a crucial concern in the VLSI design and it becomes increasingly more critical in the nowadays deep-submicron technology. To obtain an accurate delay va...

There is a growing concern about timing errors resulting from design marginalities and the effects of circuit aging on speed-paths in logic circuits. This paper presents a low ove...
—The growing trend towards using component based design approach in embedded system development requires addressing newer system engineering challenges. These systems are usually...
