In many modern designs, timing is either a key optimization goal and/or a mandatory constraint. We propose the first intellectual property protection technique using watermarking ...
We propose a timing optimization technique for a complex finite state machine that consists of not only random logic but also data operators. In such a design, the timing critical...
Logical effort (LE) is a linear technique for modelling the delay of a circuit in a technology independent manner. It offers the potential to simplify delay models for FPGAs and g...
A methodology for constructing circuit-level mismatch models and performing yield optimization is presented for CMOS analog circuits. The methodology combines statistical techniqu...
This paper addresses an optimal technique for throughput optimization of general non-linear data flow computations using a set of transformations. Throughput is widely recognized ...
