Abstract. Data dependent circuits are logic circuits specialized to specific input data. They are smaller and faster than the original circuits, although they are not reusable and...
Cyclic circuits that do not hold state or oscillate are often the most convenient representation for certain functions, such as arbiters, and can easily be produced inadvertently ...
Abstract— Reliability enhancements are traditionally implemented through redundancies at the system level or through the use of harden-cell-designs at the circuit level. Reliabil...
Timing closure problems occur when timing estimates computed during logic synthesis do not match with timing estimates computed from the layout of the circuit. In such a situation...

—We survey state-of-the-art optimization methods that target low power dissipation in VLSI circuits. Optimizations at the circuit, logic, architectural and system levels are cons...
