Long design cycles due to the inability to predict silicon realities is a well-known problem that plagues analog/RF integrated circuit product development. As this problem worsens...
Transistor tapering is a widely used technique applied to optimize the geometries of CMOS transistors in highperformance circuit design with a view to minimizing the delay of a FE...
The power consumption of a sequential circuit can be reduced by decomposing it into subcircuits which can be turned off when inactive. Power can also be reduced by careful state e...
