NBTI is one of the most important silicon reliability problems facing processor designers today. The impact of NBTI can be mitigated at both the circuit and microarchitecture leve...
With aggressive reductions in feature sizes and the integration of multiple functionalities on the same die, bottlenecks due to I/O pin limitations have become a severe issue in to...
This paper considers the testability implications of low power design methodologies. Low power and high testability are shown to be highly contrasting requirements, and an optimiz...

Power-awareness indicates the scalability of the system energy with changing conditions and quality requirements. Multipliers are essential elements used in DSP applications and c...
This paper presents a novel delay fault testing technique, which can be used as an alternative to the enhanced scan based delay fault testing, with significantly less design overh...
