Special Issue on Competing to Secure SoCs
| • | Guest Editors’ Introduction: Open-Source Electronic Design Automation (EDA) Tools |
| View full article (PDF). |
| • | ALIGN: A System for Automating Analog Layout |
| This article describes a correct by construction approach to synthesize electrically and designs compliant design. By taking advantage of layout hierarchies they are able to apply this to an interesting class of circuits. read more View full article (PDF). |
| • | MAGICAL: An Open- Source Fully Automated Analog IC Layout System from Netlist to GDSII |
| This article presents MAGICAL, which is a fully automated analog IC layout system. MAGICAL takes a netlist and design rules as inputs, and it produces the final GDS layout in a fully automated fashion. read more. View full article (PDF). |
| • | An Open-Source EDA Flow for Asynchronous Logic |
| This article presents an open-source EDA flow for digital asynchronous circuits, capable of supporting many different families of asynchronous circuit families from logic synthesis all the way down to GDSII. read more. View full article (PDF). |
| • | Real Silicon Using Open-Source EDA |
| This article demonstrates that complete open-source tooling can be used to design industrial quality digital circuits. Using the OpenLane framework, based itself on the OpenROAD tool 2, the authors show a complete set of RISCV-based SoC. read more. View full article (PDF). |
| • | Fault: Open-Source EDA’s Missing DFT Toolchain |
| An open-source DFT flow is essential for any open-source solution. This article describes an approach to fill in this missing piece. read more View full article (PDF). |
| • | PyH2: Using PyMTL3 to Create Productive and Open-Source Hardware Testing Methodologies |
| This article proposes a new model testing and verification methodology, PyH2, using property-based random testing in Python. PyH2 leverages the whole Python ecosystem to build test benches and models. read more. View full article (PDF). |
| • | OpenTimer v2: A Parallel Incremental Timing Analysis Engine |
| This article introduces a high-quality open-source static timing analysis engine that is capable of parallel incremental timing and that provides an efficient API to facilitate development of complex EDA tools. read more. View full article (PDF). |
| • | CATNAP-Sim: A Comprehensive Exploration and a Nonvolatile Processor Simulator for Energy Harvesting Systems |
| This article introduces an architecture exploration tool to study and understand the tradeoffs of future processor systems using nonvolatile memory and help guide the design of the future. read more. View full article (PDF). |
General Interest Papers
| • | Design of ₌׀₌ Shape Stub-Based Negative Group Delay Circuit |
| This article presents a type of negative group delay (NGD) circuit based on transmission line resonators. To obtain the circuit’s S-parameters, this article uses a combination of ABCD and Z-parameters. Analytical design equations are presented, which are verified using circuit simulations. read more View full article (PDF). |
| • | Design of Single-Bit Fault-Tolerant Reversible Circuits |
| This article introduces redundant design approaches for reversible circuits that have the ability to detect and tolerate single-bit fault without the need of conventional voting scheme. Experiments preformed show that the proposed scheme reduces the gate cost on average with up to 28% as compared with tri-modular redundant circuits. read more View full article (PDF). |
