Dynamic gates have been excellent choice in the design of high-performance modules in modern microprocessors. The only limitation of dynamic gates is their relatively low noise mar...
With the aggressive scaling of the CMOS technology parametric variation of the transistor threshold voltage causes significant spread in the circuit delay as well as leakage spect...
-- Aggressive CMOS scaling results in low threshold voltage and thin oxide thickness for transistors manufactured in deep submicron regime. As a result, reducing the subthreshold a...
—In this paper we study the effectiveness of two power gating methods – transistor switches and MEMS switches – in reducing the power consumption of a design with a certain t...
: An embedded rectifier-based Built-In-Test (BIT) detection circuit for the RF integrated circuits is proposed in this work, and charge pump rectifier is adopted to transform the R...
