Clock gating is the insertion of combinational logic along the clock path to prevent the unnecessary switching of registers and reduce dynamic power consumption. The conditions un...
Sleep transistors in industrial power-gating designs are custom designed with an optimal size. Consequently, sleep transistor P/G network optimization becomes a problem of finding ...
For many years, CMOS process scaling has allowed a steady increase in the operating frequency and integration density of integrated circuits. Only recently, however, have we reach...
Abstract--In nanometer-scale VLSI physical design, clock network becomes a major concern on determining the total performance of digital circuit. Clock skew and PVT (Process, Volta...
