In implementing an efficient block coder for JPEG2000, the memories required for storing the state variables dominate the hardware cost of a block coder. In this paper, we propose...
With the thermal effect, improper analog placements may degrade circuit performance because the thermal impact from power devices can affect electrical characteristics of the ther...

State elements are increasingly vulnerable to soft errors due to their decreasing size, and the fact that latched errors cannot be completely eliminated by electrical or timing ma...
Post-silicon validation has recently drawn designers' attention due to its increasing impacts on the VLSI design cycle and cost. One key feature of the post-silicon validatio...
Don't-care conditions provide additional flexibility in logic synthesis and optimization. However, most work only focuses on the gate level because it is difficult to handle ...
