We consider the problem of finding an optimal clock schedule, i.e. optimal arrival times for clock signals at latches of a VLSI chip. We describe a general model which includes al...
Clock skew scheduling has been traditionally considered as a tool for improving the clock period in a sequential circuit. Timing slack is "stolen" from fast combinationa...
Traditional approaches for sequential logic optimization include (1) explicit state-based techniques such as state minimization, (2) structural techniques such as retiming, and (3...
—The clock distribution network is a key component of any synchronous VLSI design. High power dissipation and pressure volume temperature-induced variations in clock skew have st...

Abstract— We present an SoC testing approach that integrates test data compression, TAM/test wrapper design, and test scheduling. An improved LFSR reseeding technique is used as ...
