Clock Skewing Strategy to Minimize Dynamic Power and Eliminate Hold Violations in ASIC Circuits
In digital systems, the difference in the arrival times at two registers is referred to as the clock skew between those registers. Clock skewing is a widely used optimization technique in conventional application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) designs and typically implemented by introducing buffers to ensure clocking of components happens in the...

A Method of Obfuscating Digital Logic Circuits Using Threshold Voltage
Growing competition in the silicon industry has increased reverse engineering aimed at stealing hardware intellectual property. Due to the increase, hardware obfuscation, or concealing the functionality of a circuit design, has become vital. Digital circuits rely on a threshold logic gate function controlled by threshold voltages can be leveraged to...
