Metastability is a phenomenon that can cause system failures in digital circuits. It may occur whenever signals are being transmitted across asynchronous or unrelated clock domain...
Process variation has become a major concern in the design of many nanometer circuits, including interconnect pipelines. This paper develops closed-form models to predict the dela...
In many wireless systems, the energy consumed by the receiver is significantly larger than the energy consumed by transmitter, possibly even by orders of magnitudes. This paper der...
