A significant fraction of the total power in highly synchronous systems is dissipated over clock networks. Hence, low-power clocking schemes would be promising approaches for futu...

We introduce and analyze the ground bounce due to power mode transition in power gating structures. To reduce the ground bounce, we propose novel power gating structures in which ...

The identification of speedpaths is required for post-silicon (PS) timing validation, and it is currently becoming timeconsuming due to manufacturing variations. In this paper we...
The nonuniform substrate thermal profile and process variations are two major concerns in the present-day ultradeep submicrometer designs. To correctly predict performance/ leakage...
