Combinational circuits are generally thought of as acyclic structures. It is known that cyclic structures can be combinational, and techniques have been proposed to analyze cyclic...
Interconnect-driven optimization is an increasingly important step in high-performance design. Algorithms for buffer insertion have been successfully utilized to reduce delay in gl...

This paper proposes a framework for (signal) interconnect power optimization at the global routing stage. In a typical design flow, the primary objective of global routing is mini...
In this paper, we present the design of a P4 (Power-PerformanceProcess-Parasitic) aware voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) at nanoCMOS technologies. Through simulations, we have ...
Accurate modeling of delay, power, and area of interconnections early in the design phase is crucial for effective system-level optimization. Models presently used in system-level...
