The deep submicron (DSM) semiconductor technologies will make the worst-case design impossible, since they can not provide design margins that it requires. Research directions sho...
This paper addresses the problem of efficiently and accurately generating two-vector tests for crosstalk induced effects, such as pulses, signal speedup and slowdown, in digital c...
A methodology for supporting dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) on commercial FPGAs is described. A logic delay measurement circuit (LDMC) is used to determine the speed of an inverter...
