With the scaling of technology, power grid noise is becoming increasingly significant for circuit performance. A typical power grid circuit contains millions of linear elements, m...
Deterministic gate delay models have been widely used to find the transition probabilities at the nodes of a circuit for calculating the power dissipation. However, with progress...
Designers of safety-critical VLSI systems are asking for effective tools for evaluating and validating their designs. Fault Injection is commonly adopted for this task, and its eff...
Mixed Vt has been widely used to control leakage without affecting circuit performance. However, current approaches target the combinational circuits even though sequential elemen...
Abstract—This paper presents an aggressive optimization technique targeting combinational logic circuits. Starting from an initial implementation mapped on a given technology lib...
