Verification is a critical step in the Integrated Circuit (IC) design process. In order to verify a design, a set of assertions based on the design, is generated. The design is checked, either using simulation or formal tools, to make sure that the design does not violate any of the generated assertions. If any of the assertions is violated, then a design bug is detected. The quality of the verification...
In this paper, a novel dual composite right-/left-handed (Dual-CRLH) unit is proposed. Based on the analysis of constitutive parameters, there is a different sign between the effective permittivity and permeability in a specific frequency range, thus a stop-band is produced. Besides, both passbands at lower and higher frequencies are right-handed (RH) bands, which is different from the traditional...
This paper presents a method to compute the combined effects of process variations and various noise models in predicting performance metrics of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits and subsystems. Without resorting to the traditional Monte Carlo simulation and specialized noise simulators, the method incorporates both behavioral simulation and statistical simulation to gain speed while ensuring...
Wireless power transfer has shown revolutionary potential in challenging the conventional charging method for consumer electronic devices. Through magnetic resonance coupling, it is possible to supply power from one transmitter to multiple receivers simultaneously. In a multiple-receiver system, the overall system efficiency highly depends on the loads’ and receivers' positions. This paper extends...
According to the characteristics of non full measured distribution network, a short circuit current calculation method based on modified power flow algorithm is proposed. It uses measured voltages to initialize the voltages of all nodes and introduces the static voltage characteristic model to decide the power of all loads, through the forward and backward substitution calculation of voltages, the...
In order to meet the EMC requirements of the vehicular engine control unit, a new design method of vehicular engine control unit is proposed. This method is based on the EMC analysis and simulation which includes board level and the line level simulation. The simulation results show the influence factors for ECU EMC performance, such as circuit arrangement and shell shielding. The vehicular control...
Processing structures based on arrays of computational elements form an important class of architectures, which includes field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), systolic arrays, and various forms of multicore processors. A wide variety of design methods and tools have been targeted to regular processing arrays involving homogeneous processing elements. In this paper, we introduce the concept of field...
Simulator accuracy is an important, but seldom examined, part of study on 3D integration. This paper examines inaccurate technology parameters as a source of error for the CACTI and PRACTICS cache simulation tools. By replacing the default parameters with ones derived from information made available in the literature, CACTI simulation error for the 90 nm Itanium2 L3 cache is eliminated almost entirely...
