Descrizione The Razor architecture enables faster (or lower voltage) clocking of a digital circuit by sampling each combinational logic twice, once with a fast clock, and once with a slow clock, detecting differences between the two and recovering from errors.
However, it is plagued by hold violations that must be solved using lock-up latches.
The goal of the thesis is to use a novel technique for lock-up latch optimization that was recently developed in our group, to implement a Razor circuit on an FPGA, to reduce power consumption and/or improve performance.
