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 ...

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 ...

In the previous installment, we talked about why flip flops are such an important part of digital design. We also looked at some latch circuits. This time, I want to look at some actual flip ...
