Due to the complexity in SoC design, circuit testability becomes one of the most challenging works. Without careful design in scan cell placement and chain ordering, circuits consume much more power in test mode operation than that in normal functional mode. This elevated testing power may cause problems including overall yield lost and instant circuit damage. In this paper, we present an approach to simultaneously minimizing power and routing cost in scan chain reordering after cell placement. We formulate the problem as a traveling salesman problem (TSP), different cost evaluation from (Bonhomme et al., 2004), (Bonhomme et al., 2003), and apply an efficient heuristic to solve it. The experimental results are encouraging. Compared with a recent result in (Bonhomme et al., 2004), which uses the approach with clustering overhead, we obtain up to 10% average power saving under the same low routing cost Furthermore, we obtain 57% routing cost improvement under the same test power consumption in s9234, one of ISCAS'89 benchmarks. We collaborate multiple scan chains architecture with our methodology and obtain good results as well","PeriodicalId":138839,"journal":{"name":"7th International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (ISQED'06)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128105235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed circuit technique modifies both the upper and lower boundaries of the voltage swing at the dynamic node. Meanwhile, full voltage swing signals are maintained at inputs and outputs for robust and high speed operation. Power supply, ground, and threshold voltages are simultaneously optimized to minimize the power-delay product (PDP). The proposed technique reduces the PDP by up to 51.9% as compared to the standard full-swing circuits in a 45nm CMOS technology. The active mode power consumption is reduced by up to 40.4% due to the lower switching power required to charge/discharge the dynamic node. Furthermore, the evaluation speed and noise immunity are enhanced by up to 19.4% and 39.1%, respectively, as compared to the standard full-swing circuits. The proposed low swing technique also reduces the idle mode leakage power consumption of high fan-in domino gates by up to 84.2%","PeriodicalId":138839,"journal":{"name":"7th International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (ISQED'06)","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131511348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it was noticed that serializing m-bits on a single interconnect (serial-link) increases the overall data switching activity. This paper presents a quantitative analysis of the switching activity of serial links, and provides closed form expressions for the average activity factors. Two transition encoding schemes, to reduce the activity factor of serial links, are discussed and analyzed. The impact of the encoding schemes on the MCF between neighboring interconnects is also discussed. The analysis shows that both of the schemes provide significant reduction in the average activity factor and energy dissipation reduction, but each in a different range of input activity factors. The two encoding bus schemes were modeled in a 70nm CMOS technology, and compared to an unencoded serial link bus and a parallel line bus. Simulation results show that the transition encoded bus schemes reduce the overall energy dissipation of the unencoded serial link bus by up to 96%","PeriodicalId":138839,"journal":{"name":"7th International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (ISQED'06)","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133624048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While high power consumption brings many problems with it, high power density and thermal hotspots are maybe two of the most important ones. Current architectures provide several circuit based solutions to cope with thermal emergencies when they occur but exercising them frequently can lead to significant performance losses. This paper proposes a compiler-based approach that balances the computational workload across the processors of a NoC based chip multiprocessor such that the chances of experiencing a thermal emergency at runtime are reduced. Our results show that the proposed approach cuts the number of runtime thermal emergencies by 42% on the average on benchmarks tested","PeriodicalId":138839,"journal":{"name":"7th International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (ISQED'06)","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124253368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to meet this constraint, temperature must be considered in the earliest phases of the design process. Using a newly developed thermal analysis tool, HS3d, this work explores the thermal profile of devices as technology varies. We show that as technology scales, the hotspot locations can shift from the units with the most switching activity to those with the most low-threshold transistors. We further note that process variations in leakage dominated technologies can result in significant variations in the hotspot locations, indicating that feedback from thermal sensors will be very important. Finally, this work examines the thermal effects of multi-layer device stacking technologies, and finds that the vertical temperature difference between layers is much less significant than the horizontal differences due to power density, and as such, vertical placement optimizations will have much smaller impact on hotspot development than a uniform power distribution","PeriodicalId":138839,"journal":{"name":"7th International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (ISQED'06)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123957232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Handoff quality issues account for a significant portion of the wasted effort during SoC development-principally due to completeness, correctness and consistency of different elements of the handoff. Such issues impact silicon quality and schedule predictability, due to the re-work effort involved. HandoffQC has been developed as an integrated QC system to qualify incoming handoffs, which ensures handoff and silicon issues are detected and fixed up-front. HandoffQC also allows for applying learnings from one design to the next, promoting continuous process improvement. The system has been architected to be easily extensible in terms of the quality checks, is user configurable and can easily be integrated into design flows.

The leakage minimization problem is formulated as a discrete optimization problem, where a suitable configuration for each gate in the circuit is selected from a standard-cell library consisting of different implementations of each type of gate. A function of mean and variance of the circuit leakage is minimized with constraint on a-percentile of the delay using physical delay models. Since the leakage is a strong function of the threshold voltage and gate length, considering them as design variables in addition to gate sizes can provide significant power savings.
