Verification is one of the most complex and expensive tasks in the current Systems-on-Chip (SOC) design process. Many existing approaches employ a bottom-up approach to pipeline v...
With the projected significant growth in mobile internet and multimedia services, there is a strong demand for nextgeneration appliances capable of wireless image communication. O...
Low standby power dissipation is the primary need for most of the wireless applications for prolonged battery life. Traditionally ASIC solutions currently address either high densi...
IDDQ testing has been used as a test technique to supplement voltage testing of CMOS chips. The idea behind IDDQ testing is to declare a chip as faulty if the steady-state current...
With device counts on modern-day ASICs crossing the 10 million mark, careful planning of an ASIC design project is necessary to meet time deadlines. Two problems arise in this con...
