The resulting circuits are multi-phase clocked sequential circuits, where all clocks have the same period. To preserve functionality of the original circuit, registers must be placed according to a correct schedule. This schedule also ensures maximum throughput. In that method, it is a question of (1) how to determine a schedule that requires the minimum number of registers, and (2) how to place these registers optimally. In this paper, problems (1) and (2) are tackled simultaneously. More precisely, we deal with the problem of determining schedules with the minimum register requirements, where the optimal register placement is done during the schedule determination. To optimally solve that problem, we provide a mixed integer linear program that we use to derive a linear program, which is polynomial-time solvable. Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the approach, and show that significant reductions of the number of registers can be obtained.","PeriodicalId":360389,"journal":{"name":"ICM 2001 Proceedings.

In this paper we report analysis results achieved evaluating self-heating of power supply busses in presence of current injection related to different working conditions. This set of estimations has been realized considering three distinct metal layers and two logic families. This analysis and optimization methodology and results will be inserted in a developing tool for power supply noise evaluation and reduction, with the aim to take into account thermal phenomena while optimizing power bus sizing and routing for noise avoidance.","PeriodicalId":360389,"journal":{"name":"ICM 2001 Proceedings.

The test technique is intended to be applied in reconfigurable systems in run time applications. Normally, in reconfigurable systems, each FPGA executes many tasks sequentially. Therefore, it is configured many times in run time applications. We propose that each FPGA is tested just before each configuration. The whole system remains functional because other FPGAs are still in function when the target FPGA is under test. Since the FPGA's transit time from one task to another has a direct consequence on the system delay, the test must be very fast. Therefore, the test proposed targets only a test of tiles where the majority of the data will be configured and only configurable logic blocks actually used are tested. The technique proposed targets test which is achieved within the fault tolerant system, and is very useful in some critical applications with time and resources constraints.","PeriodicalId":360389,"journal":{"name":"ICM 2001 Proceedings.

We show, from simulation results, that the loss in the output voltage level is mainly due to the series metal resistance of the inductor. The inductor metal width was increased from 1.9 /spl mu/m to 10 /spl mu/m, which decreased the series resistance. The output voltage level increased from 1V to 3V. To further increase the cross sectional area of the inductor metal, a new concept of micromachined inductor on silicon is presented. The new inductor is formed by connecting metal 1 to metal 2, thus a reduction in the series resistance of 70% could be obtained.","PeriodicalId":360389,"journal":{"name":"ICM 2001 Proceedings.

Recent work of Cong and Lim (1998) suggests that multi-way bi-partitioning is more effective than hierarchical bi-partitioning based on a recursive scheme, in addition to the limitation of recursive multi-way partitioners to minimize absorption cost metrics but not hyper-edge cost metrics. In this paper, we use a modified recursive multi-way partitioner to prove that hierarchical bi-partitioning is more effective than multi-way partitioning for both cost metrics. Results obtained indicate that hierarchical bi-partitioning obtains cutsize results that are on average 25% and 55% better than a multiway flat partitioning based on the hyper-edge and absorption costs, respectively. In addition, a combined hierarchical bi-partitioning followed by a multiway flat partitioning scheme improves results on average by 42% for the hyper-edge cost metric.","PeriodicalId":360389,"journal":{"name":"ICM 2001 Proceedings.

The noise reduction is a key issue and often defines the sensitivity or detection limit. In this paper, a thorough noise analysis is made of the expected performance of the APS imagers. White noise and low-frequency (LF) noise sets a fundamental limit on APS performance, especially for low-light applications. Therefore, a detailed theoretical analysis of the in-pixel amplifier and the readout circuit response to the LF noise is investigated. Some experimental LF noise results obtained at room temperature on N-channel MOSFETs fabricated using a 0.7 /spl mu/m CMOS process are presented. We show that the LF noise spectra generated by small area MOSFETs are Lorentzian rather than pure 1/f shape chiefly for the weak inversion mode. Next, using PSPICE simulations, the noise due to the readout circuit during integration is carried out.","PeriodicalId":360389,"journal":{"name":"ICM 2001 Proceedings.
