High efficiency low voltage DC-DC conversion is a key enabler to the design of power-efficient integrated circuits. Typically a star configuration of the DC-DC converters, where o...
As power consumption of the clock tree in modern VLSI designs tends to dominate, measures must be taken to keep it under control. This paper introduces an approach for reducing cl...
An optimization algorithm for the design of combinational circuits that are robust to single-event upsets (SEUs) is described. A simple, highly accurate model for the SEU robustne...
Potential slack is an effective metric of circuit’s possible performance improvement. It is equal to the maximal amount of slack that can be potentially used for optimization. I...
—We present an implementation of an algorithm for constructing provably fast circuits for a class of Boolean functions with input signals that have individual starting times. We ...
