Simulation of VLSI processing deficiencies in digital integrated circuits

Static Simulation of CNTFET-based Digital Circuits

   In this paper we implement a simple DC model for CNTFETs already proposed by us in order to carry out static analysis of basic digital circuits. To verify the validity of the obtained results, they are compared with those of Wong model, resulting in good agreement, but obtaining a lighter ensuring compile and shorter execution time, which are the main character...

Dynamic Simulation of CNTFET-Based Digital Circuits

   In this paper we propose a simulation study to carry out dynamic analysis of CNTFET-based digital circuit, introducing in the semi-empirical compact model for CNTFETs, already proposed by us, both the quantum capacitance effects and the sub-threshold currents. To verify the validity of the obtained results, a comparison with Wong model was carried out. Our mode...

VLSI in Digital Signal Processing

The hardware used to implement the digital techniques discussed previously is the main focus of this chapter. We will first discuss digital signal processors (DSPs) and the functions they must perform. Next, two commercially available DSPs are described. Current high-performance VLSI architectures for signal processing are introduced including parallel processing, bit-serial processing, systoli...

Power Simulation and Estimation in VLSI Circuits

In the past the major concerns of the VLSI designer were area speed and cost power consideration was typically of secondary importance In recent years how ever this has begun to change and increasingly power is being given comparable weight to other design considerations Several factors have contributed to this trend including the remarkable success and growth of the class of battery powered pe...
