We consider the problem of minimizing the delay in transporting a signal across a distance in a VLSI circuit.The problem can be restated as a combined buffer insertion, buffer siz...
The formal analysis of parallelism and pipelining is performed on an 8-bit Add-Compare-Select element of a Viterbi decoder. The results are quantified through a study of the delay...
— A methodology is proposed for interdependent setup time and hold time characterization of sequential circuits. Integrating the methodology into an industrial sign-off static ti...
