This book carefully details design tools and techniques for realizing low power and energy efficiency in a highly productive design methodology. Important topics include: - Microarchitectural techniques to reduce energy per operation- Power reduction with timing slack from pipelining- Analysis of th... More

An increasing number of system designers are using ASIPa (TM)s rather than ASICa (TM)s to implement their system solutions. Building ASIPs: The Mescal Methodology gives a simple but comprehensive methodology for the design of these application-specific instruction processors (ASIPs). The key element... More

Detailing design tools and techniques for high-performance ASIC design, this book covers the use of microarchitecture, timing-driven floor-planning, clock stew, latch-based design, automated cell sizing, and process variation.This book carefully details design tools and techniques for high-performan...

As the feature size decreases in deep sub-micron designs, coupling capacitance becomes the dominant factor in total capacitance. The resulting crosstalk noise may be responsible for signal integrity issues and significant timing variation. Traditionally, static timing analysis tools have ignored cro... More
