Analysis of Functional Errors Produced by Long-Term Workload-Dependent BTI Degradation in Ultra-Low Power Processors

David Atienza Alonso, Alexandre Sébastien Julien Levisse, Ruben Braojos Lopez, Miguel Peon Quiros, Loris Gérard Duch

Aging effects in digital circuits change the switching characteristics of their transistors, resulting in timing violations that can lead to functional errors at the system level. In particular, BTI is a degradation effect that changes the threshold voltag ...

Pipelined Numerical Integration on Reduced Accuracy Architectures for Power System Transient Simulations

Maher Kayal, Georgios Lilis, Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Theodoros Kyriakidis, Guillaume Olivier Lanz

This work concerns a dedicated mixed-signal power system dynamic simulator. The equations that describe the behavior of a power system can be decoupled in a large linear system that is handled by the analog part of the hardware, and a set of differential e ...
