In this paper, we describe a technique for power reduction in sequential circuits. Existing signals in the circuit are used to selectively disable some of the registers so that a ...
Test vector ordering is recognized as a simple and non-intrusive approach to assist test power reduction. Simulation based test vector ordering approach to minimize circuit transit...
Abstract— Clock-gating techniques are very effective in the reduction of the switching activity in sequential logic circuits. In particular, recent work has shown that significa...
Power gating is emerging as a viable solution to reduction of leakage current. However, power gated circuits are different from the conventional designs in the sense that a power-...
Clock skew scheduling has been traditionally considered as a tool for improving the clock period in a sequential circuit. Timing slack is "stolen" from fast combinationa...
