Deep submicron technology calls for new design techniques, in which wire and gate delays are accounted to have equal or nearly equal effect on circuit behavior. Asynchronous speed...
In Deep Sub-Micron (DSM) designs, performance will depend critically on the latency of long wires. We propose a new synthesis methodology for synchronous systems that makes the de...

— Continued scaling of CMOS has lead to a problem of scale as gates are faster than light travelling across a chip. Scalability used to be the hallmark of CMOS. Half the size, do...
This work presents a new and computationally efficient performance optimization technique for distributed RLC interconnects based on a rigorous delay computation scheme. The new o...
— This paper suggests a methodology to decrease the power of a static CMOS standard cell design at layout level by focusing on switched capacitance. The term switched is the key:...
