MTCMOS Hierarchical Sizing Based on Mutual Exclusive Discharge Patterns - Design Automation Conference, 1998. Proceedings

Multi-threshold CMOS is a popular circuit style that will provide high performance and low power operation. Optimally sizing the gating sleep transistor to provide adequate performance is difficult because the overall delay characteristics are strongly dependent on the discharge patterns of internal gates. This paper proposes a methodology for sizing the sleep transistor for a large module base...

System-Chip Test Strategies - Design Automation Conference, 1998. Proceedings

A major challenge in realizing core-based system-chips is the adoption of adequate test and diagnosis strategies. this paper focuses on the current industrial practices in test strategies for system-chips. It discusses the challenges in testing embedded cores, the testing requirements for individual cores, and their test access mechanisms. It also covers the integrated test strategies for syste...
