The design methods and the automation of the comparator circuit layout generation for a flash A/D converter are presented in this paper. The threshold inverter quantization (TIQ)...
Abstract— Design variability due to within-die and die-todie process variations has the potential to significantly reduce the maximum operating frequency and the effective yield...
Gate sizing in VLSI design is a widely-used method for power or area recovery subject to timing constraints. Several previous works have proposed gate sizing heuristics for power ...
Accurate power estimation is essential for low power digital CMOS circuit design. Power dissipation is input pattern dependent. To obtain an accurate power estimate, a large input...
