Complex issues stemming from near-threshold computing, where the operating voltage and threshold voltage are very close together, are becoming more common at each new node. In fact, there are reports ...

Chipmakers are pushing into sub-threshold operation in an effort to prolong battery life and reduce energy costs, adding a whole new set of challenges for design teams. While process and environmental ...

New SOC (system-on-chip) process technology brings with it some process, voltage, and temperature effects, as well as IR drop, which all impact timing closure. Designers can model the on-chip ...
