Abstract We propose a novel approach to preserve the synchronizing sequences of a circuit after retiming. The significance of this problem stems from the necessity of maintaining c...

— The problem of minimizing dynamic power consumption by scaling down the supply voltage of computational elements off critical paths is widely addressed in the literature for th...
Abstract A new method for power estimation in sequential circuits is presented that is based on a statistical estimation technique. By applying randomly generated input sequences t...
