Power dissipation and interconnect noise challenges in nanometer CMOS technologies
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed asynchronous ICs, which use clockless structure, mitigate the effects of interconnect noise delays and other parasitics in circuits, such as short channel effects, coupling capacitance and other factors.

A wide speed range and high precision position and velocity measurements chip with serial peripheral interface
TL;DR: A VLSI chip, with a serial peripheral interface (SPI), that obtains position and velocity measurements from incremental optical encoder feedback by sensing the velocity of the encoder, and subsequently enhances the performance of the total system.
