Leakage power dissipation is one of the most critical factors for the overall current dissipation and future designs. However, design techniques for the reduction of leakage power...
An approach to robust system level mixed signal design is presented based on analog platforms. The bottom-up characterization phase of platform components provides accurate perfor...

This paper presents an efficient heuristic algorithm to design a power distribution network of a chip by employing a successive partitioning and grid refinement scheme. In an it...
Since across-chip interconnect delays can exceed a clock cycle in nanometer technologies, it has become essential in high performance designs to add flip-flops on wires with multi...
