Efficient semicustom micropipeline design

摘要

We present the analytical model and the electricalncharacterization of a controllable delay component for a micropipelinenarchitecture suitable for being designed with a semicustom designnapproach. An interesting feature of the component is that it isnlockable, i.e., it can be controlled in an on/off fashion, permittingnsynchronous operation for testing purposes by means of an opportunenarchitecture model
