Temperature sensors and voltage references require cells that generate both PTAT (Proportional To Absolute Temperature) and NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) voltages. We pre...
The Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) is a fundamental block in RF IC architectures. Today’s wireless communication applications do require a high level of performances from s...

The Internet is different from traditional parallel computing environments, and Distributed Genetic Algorithms (DGAs) for the Internet need to be designed to address these diffe...
Congestion estimation is an important issue for the success of the VLSI layout. Fast congestion estimation provides an efficient means to adjust the placement and wire planning. A...
We propose a hybrid genetic algorithm for partitioning a VLSI circuit graph into two disjoint graphs of minimum cut size. The algorithm includes a local optimization heuristic whic...
