This paper deals with the characterization of integrated circuits electromagnetic emissions. The TEM cell method is employed in order to identify primary emissions sources of complex digital devices. An 8-bit microcontroller, realized by a 0.8 m HCMOS process is considered. It is composed of several building blocks like the central processing unit, the analog to digital converter and the EPROM ...

For complex digital circuits, building their power models is a popular approach to estimate their power consumption without detailed circuit information. In the literature, most of power models have to increase their complexity in order to meet the accuracy requirement. In this paper, we propose a tableless power model for complex circuits that uses neural networks to learn the relationship bet...

The aggressive technology scaling has significantly affected the circuit reliability. interaction of environmental radiation with devices in integrated circuits (ICs) may be dominant reliability aspect advanced ICs. Several techniques have been explored to mitigate effects and guarantee a satisfactory levels. In this context, estimating is crucial challenge that not yet overcome. For decades, s...

This paper presents new structures of combinatorial and constant coefficient multipliers based on the current-mode gates – digital elements operating with constant, continuous power supply current. Current mode circuits do not perturb the analogue part of the chip integrated on the same die through the parasitic coupling across the substrate with the same strength as voltage mode circuits do. D...
