The output frequency of the simple VCO in Figure 1, which is synthesized from inverting latch stages, is tunable to an integer multiple of the input frequency by selecting which output phases feed ...

The efficiency of modern SoC timing closure critically depends upon the effectiveness of the timing fixes and their implementation. As we scale down to deep submicron technology, the complexity of ...

Recently, many methodologies have been introduced for reducing dynamic power for systems-on-chip (SoCs). These methodologies, however, impose restrictive physical constraints which have schedule ...
