For circuits where there may be latches with no reset line, we show how to replace some of them with combinational logic. All previous work in sequential optimization by latch rem...
In the digital VLSI cycle, logic transformations are often required to modify the design to meet different synthesis and optimization goals. Logic transformations on sequential ci...

- Minimum area is one of the important objectives in technology mapping for lookup table-based FPGAs. It has been proven that the problem is NP-complete. This paper presents a poly...
Optimized locally exhaustive test pattern generators based on linear sums promise a low overhead, but have an irregular structure. The paper presents a new algorithm able to compu...
This paper investigates methods for minimizing the impact of process variation on clock skew using buffer and wire sizing. While most papers on clock trees ignore data-path circuit...
