In modern circuit design, it is difficult to provide reliable parametric yield prediction since the real distribution of process data is hard to measure. Most existing approaches ...
This paper considers the testability implications of low power design methodologies. Low power and high testability are shown to be highly contrasting requirements, and an optimiz...

This paper addresses two aspects of low-power design for FPGA circuits. First, we present an RT-level power estimator for FPGAs with consideration of wire length. The power estima...
