Clock-tree power optimization based on RTL clock-gating
As power consumption of the clock tree in modern VLSI designs tends to dominate, measures must be taken to keep it under control. This paper introduces an approach for reducing cl...

Type-matching clock tree for zero skew clock gating
Clock skew minimization is always very important in the clock tree synthesis. Due to clock gating, the clock tree may include different types of logic gates, e.g., AND gates, OR g...

Activity-Aware Registers Placement for Low Power Gated Clock Tree Construction
As power consumption of the clock tree dominates over 40% of the total power in modern high performance VLSI designs, measures must be taken to keep it under control. One of the m...

RTL Power Optimization with Gate-Level Accuracy
Traditional RTL power optimization techniques commit transformations at the RTL based on the estimation of area, delay and power. However, because of inadequate power and delay in...
