Abstract— Noise induced by impedance discontinuities from VLSI packaging is one of the leading challenges facing system level designers in the next decade. The performance of IC ...
Traditionally, at early design stages, leakage power is associated with the number of transistors in a design. Hence, intuitively an implementation with minimum resource usage wou...
Advanced process technologies call for a proactive consideration of process variations in design to ensure high parametric timing yield. Despite of its popular use in almost any h...
The need to reduce the power consumption of the next generation of digital systems is clearly recognized. At the system level, power management is a very powerful technique and de...
