A fundamental problem in timing-driven physical synthesis is the reduction of critical paths in a design. In this work, we propose a powerful new technique that moves (and can als...

Leakage power is becoming a dominant contributor to the total power consumption and dual-Vth assignment is an efficient technique to decrease leakage power, for which effective de...
Digital Down Conversion (DDC) is an algorithm, used to lower the amount of samples per second by selecting a limited frequency band out of a stream of samples. A possible DDC algo...

Gate oxide tunneling current Igate and sub-threshold current Isub dominate the leakage of designs. The latter depends on threshold voltage Vth while Igate vary with the thickness ...
Abstract- This paper presents a detailed empirical study and analytical derivation of voltage wave-form and energy dissipation of global lines driven by CMOS drivers. It is shown t...
