This paper introduces a new numerical approximation technique, called the Differential Quadrature Method (DQM), in order to derive the rational ABCD matrix representing the high-s...
One of the major roadblocks in reduction of library generation cycle time is the layout generation phase. The two methods of doing automatic layout generation are synthesis and mig...
Interconnection networks in Systems-On-Chip begin to have a non-negligible impact on the power consumption of a whole system. This is because of increasing inter-wire capacitances...
Power gating is emerging as a viable solution to reduction of leakage current. However, power gated circuits are different from the conventional designs in the sense that a power-...
Interconnect with an insufficient width may be subject to electromigration and eventually cause the failure of the circuit at any time during its lifetime. This problem has gotten...
