This paper proposes a new approach for the hazard checking of timed asynchronous circuits. Previous papers proposed either exact algorithms, which suffer from statespace explosion...
This paper presents a novel variation of wave pipelining that we call “surfing.” In previous wave pipelined designs, timing uncertainty grows monotonically as events propagat...
1 Scan based transition tests are added to improve the detection of speed failures using scan tests. Empirical data suggests that both data volume and application time, for transi...

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...
Certain hard real-time tasks demand precise timing of events, but the usual software solution of periodic interrupts driving a scheduler only provides precision in the millisecond ...
