Both custom IC and FPGA designs in the nanometer regime suffer from process variations. But different from custom ICs, FPGAs' programmability offers a unique design freedom t...
The following article describes and discusses the suitability of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) for the employment with blind adaptation of the directional characteristic o...
In this paper, we study optimal bu er design in high-performance VLSI systems. Speci cally, we design a bu er for a given load such that chip area and power dissipation are minima...
The design and synthesis of asynchronous circuits is gaining importance in both the industrial and academic worlds. Timed circuits are a class of asynchronous circuits that incorp...
Abstract - This paper describes the development of a concurrent methodology for standard cell library generation. Use of a novel physical design automation method enables a high de...
