To guarantee fault-free operation for a specified clock frequency, IC designers have to quantify these uncertainties and account for them adequately. This is typically done by guard-banding, i.e. adding sufficie

As the worst-case is very rare however, in most cases power or performance is wasted by this approach..By scaling the operating voltage, energy efficiency can be increased. Tuning the supply voltag

First, we show how the whole system can be analyzed accurately and at the same time efficiently. Subsequently, the Markov chain, which is used to model the AVS system, is expla
