IDDQ testing has been used as a test technique to supplement voltage testing of CMOS chips. The idea behind IDDQ testing is to declare a chip as faulty if the steady-state current...
The increasing clock frequencies in high-end industrial circuits bring new routing challenges that can not be handled by traditional algorithms. An important design automation pro...
Traditional timing-driven placement considers only combinational delays and does not take into account the potential of subsequent sequential optimization steps. As a result, the ...
— In deep sub-micron technologies, process variations can cause significant path delay and clock skew uncertainties thereby lead to timing failure and yield loss. In this paper,...
