Application specific full custom design integrated circuit is a methodology for making a logic cell, circuit or layout specification. Full custom design circuit is the part of Application specific integrated circuit. A gate array or uncommitted logic array as an approach to the design and manufacture of application specific integrated circuit. It requires custom chip fabrication using a complet...

We describe a synthesis system that takes operating range constraints and inter and intracircuit parametric manufacturing variations into account while designing a sized and biased analog circuit. Previous approaches to computer-aided design for analog circuit synthesis have concentrated on nominal analog circuit design, and subsequent optimization of these circuits for statistical fluctuations...

Recently, there has been a wide interest in the massive open online courses (MOOCs) that are freely available to the students from all over the world. Due to the large scale of MOOCs, the instructors (even with their teams of graders) cannot assess all the examinations and quizzes themselves. Peer grading eases the assessment burden but has its shortcomings. Ideally, the assessments should be f...

Negative bias temperature instability has become an important reliability concern for ultra-scaled Silicon IC technology with significant implications for both analog and digital circuit design. In this paper, we construct a comprehensive model for NBTI phenomena within the framework of the standard reaction–diffusion model. We demonstrate how to solve the reaction–diffusion equations in a way ...

This paper proposes the methodology for hardware evolution by genetic programming (GP). By adopting Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) as hardware representation, larger circuits can be evolved, and they will be easily verified by utilizing commercial CAD software. The hardware descriptions specified in BDDs are improved by GP operators, to synthesize various combinatorial logical circuits. From t...

With the upcoming trend towards built-in test structures and implicit testing, more and more issues of test design need to be resolved during circuit design. A basic requirement for manual as well as for automatic test generation is to assess how accurately a given test strategy will classify good and faulty circuits. Measurement error plays an important role here and must be taken into account...

Wave-pipelining is a method of high-performance circuit design which implements pipelining in logic without the use of intermediate latches or registers. The combination of high-performance integrated circuit (IC) technologies, pipelined architectures, and sophisticated computer-aided design (CAD) tools has converted wave-pipelining from a theoretical oddity into a realistic, although challengi...

A new algorithm has been designed and implemented, that allows for the automatic generation of an optimum 2D and 3D grid for device simulation from the information available at the circuit-layout level. The tool fills a gap in the top-down design chain of integrated circuits, easing the task of circuit designers who are often unaware of specific features of device-modeling tools.

AbstractIn this paper, the use of Simulated Evolution (SimE) Algorithm in the design of digital logic circuits is proposed. SimE algorithm consists of three steps: evaluation, selection and allocation. Two goodness measures are designed to guide the selection and allocation operations of SimE. Area, power and delay are considered in the optimization of circuits. Results obtained by SimE algorit...

Reading is a hobby to open the knowledge windows. Besides, it can provide the inspiration and spirit to face this life. By this way, concomitant with the technology development, many companies serve the e-book or book in soft file. The system of this book of course will be much easier. No worry to forget bringing the digital circuit design for computer science students an introductory textbook ...
